It has been confirmed that Catherine Hardwicke will be directing the upcoming Red Riding Hood film. In 2008, she directed the film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling book, Twilight. The film was the first in a planned series produced by Summit Entertainment based on Meyer's four-book series.
Production Weekly is reporting that:
Catherine Hardwicke's adaptation of the classic fairy Red Riding Hood has opened offices at Vancouver Film Studios, for an early July shoot.
The best-known version of the story—in which a wolf disguises himself to fool a girl delivering food to her sick grandmother in the forest—was published in the 19th century by the Brothers Grimm. Earlier oral versions of the tale, which date back to the Middle Ages, are far darker and sometimes involve a werewolf rather than a wolf; the first published version, by Charles Perrault, concludes with Red Riding Hood eaten by the wolf, with no happy ending.
