A new take on a old classic

Who would have thought Amanda Seyfried would have been the break out star of Mean Girls? I mean as Karen the girl that could predict the weather when it was actually happening (very funny scene), it wasn't exactly the role that would have many lining up to see what she did next. But she soon found her A List movie to catapult her to the next level in the business by staring alongside the legendary Meryl Streep in the huge hit Mama Mia. And with that Amanda was in demand. And rightfully so. The girl has talent. Amanda is on a role with the hits Dear John, Letters to Juliet and holding her own against such A List talent Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore in the independent film Chloe. But now she is entering a new genre of the thriller kind in the new movie and new take on the old classic, "Red Riding Hood." The story follows Valerie (Amanda Seyfield) who is living in a small town in medieval times when people are starting to go missing. There seems to be some suspicious behaviour as it seems (here comes the old school story). A werewolf is killing them off one by one. It seems that the wolf is one of their own. But who? And will Valerie (Red Riding Hood) be in danger next? Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (of Twilight fame) and also staring Gary Oldman, Virginia Marsden and even the very talented and always great actress Julie Christie, Amanda is sure in good company for this new telling of on an old fable. Red Riding Hood sinks it's teeth into theatres next Autumn 2011 (Australia).
