Red Riding Hood - The Movie

Who's afraid?

(I have an obsession with fairy tales, with an added emphasis on Little Red Riding Hood. This movie caught me completely by surprise. So excited. )

No shot of the werewolf? And from the director of Twilight?

Lame.

...
I'm sorry, but that looks f*cking AWFUL.
From the Director of Twishite? That concept is supposed to fill me with anything other than gut clenching nausea?

I could make a better movie than that in my sleep. And someday probably will. But, for now, that thing is an abomination that is pretty much guarenteed to suck.

Yeah, I'll catch that on cable. Also...

*SPOILER GUESS*
Obviously, she's the wolf.

Yeah I wouldn't mind seeing an adult/scary version of Red Riding Hood. But the fact that this movie has -any- relation to Twilight (even if it's just via the director) makes me automatically assume it'll be lame and geared towards the "tweeners" to some degree.

The director of Twilight thing wouldn't be bad if it felt like it was it's own movie, but this screams like they made the movie specifically for the Twilight crowd and had no shame in doing so.

Red Riding Hood being creepy? No problem! But longing, steamy looks from unattractive actresses who probably cant act and guys who are 90% likely to lose their shirt at some point in the movie, how also likely cant act, does NOT a good movie make.

Unfortunately, Hollywood seems not to notice this....
Big, steaming pile of -

Y'know, for a movie with this:


that trailer seemed oddly light on the '70's funk.

Ouch, that looks terrible.

*sigh*

There's a batch of 12-year-old girls whom I occasionally teach that this movie is aiming at like an Orbital Lance.

Otherwise, yeah, it looks like Twilight dipped unmercifully in Ye Olde Renaissance Faire.

Gotta dig Gary Oldman in the Purple Robe of Funkiness, though.

I'm sure it will be printing money when it lands in theaters.

I will wait till it comes out to the redbox/blockbuster kiosk and see it then.

I might be wrong; It might be great.

But Hollywood has a habit for taking things that should be great (CoughTRANSFORMERSCough) and bastardising them mercilessly. And, yes, aiming them at the screamy hordes of teengirl fantards.

I like this one beter:

It's the engineering nerd version.

In before Twilight nerdrage!

*looks up*

Aw, Smoof.


Gary Oldman's in it, so I'll watch it but it doesn't look like "Red Riding Hood" to me so much as "Ginger Snaps 3".

As cute as Amanda Seyfried might be, I'll pass.

I want a big screen adaptation of Aesop's Toad and the Scorpion, dangit!

Meh. Doesn't look like it has much to do with it at all. Aside from her overly huge, unwieldy, red cloak.
I'm surprised she wasn't the first victim with such a target sign on her. The wolf must be her 'boyfriend'. Which is stupid hollywood teenage dramalove anyway.

I really don't care if they market it to Twilight fans. I like a lot of the concepts in Twilight. It's Edward and Bella's relationship that I hate. I know, I know, that sounds like I just said I hate the whole series, but I genuinely have fun during the 5% of the series that isn't that.

Unless they strive to replicate Edward in his entirety, then these "It may be similar to Twilight" doom cries don't worry me in the least.

That looked horrible!

I'd watch it if they used the Twilight werewolves... and Red Riding Hood was Bulleta.

Saw the trailer for this before the new Harry Potter... not sure we need ANOTHER pretty boy monster movie w/ tragic romance..
