Catherine Hardwicke signs for Red Riding Hood

Twilight helmer tackling werewolf fairy tale update...

Aug 21st 2009 By James White

Warners' fairy tale update The Girl With The Red Riding Hood has just landed a possible director - in the shape of Twilight's Catherine Hardwicke.

She's added the film to an ever-increasing development plate that already includes a new version of Hamlet, novel adaptation If I Stay and TV remake 21 Jump Street.

There's one new plot wrinkle in Red Riding Hood - a planned re-telling of the tale with added gothic overtones and a proper werewolf - with word that it'll also feature a teenage love triangle.

Hhhm: teenage angst issues and fantastical creatures? It does sound like material she's familiar with...

  well Twilight was s**t so, no. I'm surprised Tim Burton hasn't already added it to his 'things to do' list
