Catherine Hardwicke to Direct The Girl with the Red Riding Hood

While I am not a Twihard, I will say I enjoyed the second film more than the first, which I suspect had something to do with the plot, but more to do with direction.

And it is that first Twilight Director, who was not picked up to direct any of the planned sequels, that is returning to the supernatural soupkitchen to direct another angsty teen romance with Werewolves in The Girl with the Red Riding Hood.

The adaptation takes a unique look at the traditional Red Riding Hood story but the big bad wolf will be lycanthropic, who instead of trying to eat Red, will be attempting to romance her.

io9.com says:

Catherine Hardwicke will try and redirect teens’ fascination with sex and supernatural beings onto a Little Red Riding Hood picture. With Amanda Seyfried in the lead, the story will put a modern twist on the classic fairy tale, retitling the project The Girl With The Red Riding Hood.

While Seyfried is at the top of her want list, its not finalized just yet.

This just sounds like Hardwicke being bitter about being turfed for the Twilight gig and is hoping to bandwagon onto a similiar supernatural teen romance that will bank more on the popularity of that trend than the director’s ability.

Also… have you seen Hardwicke in interviews? Its just uncomfortable to listen to her talk. She is so creepy and awkward. I have a hard time watching her in interviews, let alone imagining the cast having to listen to her direction every day.

She also appears to be attached to Maximum Ride, another popular teen novel series anticipated to be adapted to film.
