Amanda Seyfriend responds to the allegations that Red Riding Hood is similar to the Twilight series, specifically the first movie, in her interview within Interview Magazine’s March issue.

Why are people say the two films are similar?

1. The two have the same director, Catherine Hardwicke, who apparently gives off the same vibe within her movies.
2. Critics have pointed out similar storylines: a love triangle, supernatural occurrences and gruesome murders.

However, Amanda Seyfried has stated that Little Red Riding hood and Twilight are totally different, stating, “We have so many elements that make it completely different. Seyfriend also added that the movie is a modernized version of the story.

“Director of the first Twilight film Catherine Hardwicke has a new vulnerable female teenage protagonist to bring to life.

She has just signed on to direct a new adaption of the famous Little Red Riding Hood story. As of now, the project is titled The Girl With The Red Riding Hood.

Written by David Johnson, who wrote the Orphan screenplay, this will be a “gothic retelling” of the story, this one focusing on werewolves with a “teenage love triangle at its center.” ”

Seems like Hardwicke is going to be REAL busy considering she is directing a few other films including Hamlet, 21 Jump Street, If I Stay, and Maximum Ride.

To give us a little hint, Hardwicke added Hardwicke that her Shakesperean stars could be “somebody who’s already been killed [in the 'Twilight' films],” she explained, responding to a question about whether Cam Gigandet (James) could be one of her candidates.
