Shiloh Fernandez Gets To Star With Amanda Seyfried In THE GIRL WITH THE RED RIDING HOOD

According to Heat Vision, young actor Shiloh Fernandez (TV’s Jericho, United States of Tara) is going to play the male lead in THE GIRL WITH THE RED RIDING HOOD starring the blond beauty Amanda Seyfried…

Twilight’s director Catherine Hardwicke is set to helm THE GIRL WITH THE RED RIDING HOOD. Quick recap, this is the retelling of the story Little Red Riding Hood that Leo DiCaprio’s production company Appian Way is developing. This version is going to be very dark, the animal with the big teeth disguising as the grandma is not just a wolf,.. it’s a werewolf and expect some more dark, suspenseful, scary plot to be included by screenwriter David Leslie Johnson who brought us Orphan.

Fernandez screen-tested 7 freakin’ times and he’ll get to play Peter, an orphaned woodcutter for whom Seyfried falls, much to the displeasure of her family. I don’t know much about Fernandez’s work to judge his performance. But I admire his persistence..
Get this.. the dude screen tested for the role of Edward in Twilight, as you know that one went to Rob Pattinson
Fernandez also tried out for the lead in Speed Racer which went to Emile Hirsch instead. And now Fernandez gets to share screen time with Seyfried.. congrats Fernandez.. Cheers!
