讲述狼人和小红帽的恐怖故事

 Along with the usual sequels, Hollywood is about to bombard cinemas with new old fairy-tales - starting with Red Riding Hood¹. This time Amanda Seyfried will cast the role as leading role.. Maybe now your question will be who Amanda Seyfried is. Then let’s have a look..

 

Unlike so many Hollywood stars, Amanda Seyfried was born in a family irrelevant² to film industry. But she got the chance of being a child model at the age of 11. Ironically, talking about her early work, Amanda said “I never felt pretty but it was fun and I got a cool pay check to buy sweets with.”

 

For her parents being ordinary doctors, Amanda has never given up study. So she got training in Broadway for 7 years which shapes her to be good at singing and dancing. Her interest in astronomy is rather queer but fervent³ and admitted that she was totally indulging in talking and studying the weather.

 

So if she hadn’t turned actress, she would somehow become a popular singer and just for her comprehensive talents, she got the chance of costarring alongside Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia!, it was Amanda 's first leading role. The film was the fifth highest grossing film of 2008.Meanwhile, her musical performance in Mamma Mia! was released on the film's soundtrack, for which she recorded five songs.

 

Following her huge success in Mamma Mia! Amanda performed together with Channing Tatum in Dear John, The film received generally negative review. Despite the reviews, Dear John became the first film to break up Avatar's box office reign⁴ at the United States box office and grossed $80 million in the US. So maybe you can guess how much is her attractions.

 

Now the new film out in April 15,Amanda is cast the role as Valerie, who is given the titular⁵ hood by her grandmother. Valerie is in love with woodcutter Peter. Yet there are bigger problems in the living set. A red full moon unleashes⁶ the resident lycanthrope, so famous werewolf hunter was summoned to kill the beast. So what on earth will be the new remake film about? Maybe you’ll have to find it out by yourself. For it will no longer be the familiar story you knew before.
