Having directed Thirteen, Lords of Dogtown and then the first installment of the Twilight franchise, Catherine Hardwicke then signed on for an adaptation of Red Riding Hood.

We reported here that Amanda Seyfried was to play Red Riding Hood herself and now Accidental Sexiness have put up a whole bunch of on-set stills, showing the principal cast in all of its costumed glory.

Hardwicke will work from a script by David Johnson (who wrote last year’s Orphan) which leaves the story in its medieval setting, but now revolves around a village being terrorised by a werewolf, with Red Riding Hood falling for an orphaned woodcutter.

We have shots below of some of the main players, including Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Lukas Haas and Virginia Madsen. Julie Christie and Michael Shanks round out the principal cast. You can follow the link above to see the rest of the extensive set of snaps. The film might be called Little Red Riding Hood, Red Riding Hood or The Girl With The Riding Hood. We’ll let you know. Thanks to Screen Rant for the heads up on this.

Dave has been writing for HeyUGuys since mid-2010 and has found them to be the most intelligent, friendly, erudite and insightful bunch of film fans you could hope to work with. He's gone from ham-fisted attempts at writing the news to interviewing Lawrence Bender, Renny Harlin and Julian Glover, to writing articles about things he loves that people have actually read. He has fairly broad tastes as far as films are concerned, though given the choice he's likely to go for Con Air over Battleship Potemkin most days. He's pretty sure that 2001: A Space Odyssey is the most overrated mess in cinematic history.
