it's the crap theory, if something stupid becomes popular, then a ton of other crap shall come that imitates it. it happened before with pokemon. and it's happening again.
as sullivan from dead rising 2 would put it.
"you're child hood memories were a small price to pay, this wasn't the first time and certainly wont be the last."

... REALLY?! WERE WOLVES?! Well, it's at least better then what I originally thought it was gonna be... (I thought it was gonna be a Human with the name "Big Bad Wolf" instead of being a wolf)... But this looks like crap. I mean, seriously! Gosh darn it! Sometimes, Darker and Edgier don't, WORK!!gigastar said:
Sir, the measure of how much of a Twilight clone this is will be determined by the amount of unnecessary and unrelated sexual tension in a story that on the whole is about a werewolf hunt.gigastar said:
And now that I've seen the trailer, and the rating, I realize there might be the possibility that the werewolf is someone completely different and that we are supposed to suspect Peter. Damn you ratings. I still think its either Peter or one of her family members though.
Its either that or a Disney-esque twist, where one werewolf saves her from a more dangerous one. But I still think its this twist.
"My, what big eyes you have."
"All the better to see you with."
"My, what big paws you have."
"All the better to hold you with."
"My, what a big tongue you have."
"Yes, well... yes."
"My, what a big--"
"Yes, I know."
"Its as big as--"
"Yes, I know. There is a reason."
I oddly liked Brothers Grimm. It was one of the few primarily horror movies that appealed to me.NuclearPenguin said:
Also, and this is important... what the HECK is going on in your avatar? Is that some like, smoke no-jitzu shit being done there? How I make bubble go away?
Ahh it won't be as good as Angela Carter's "In the Company of Wolves" or Freeway. Freeway was great BTW, Freeway 2 was not. If you think this is ruining your childhood don't read Neil Gaiman's take on Snow White "Snow, Apples, Glass"... creepy... or again Angela Carter's "Snow Child"...
Many childhood stories and movies are actually quite violent and disturbing when you really think about it. Take a closer look at pretty much every Disney movie ever and they suddenly don't seem so innocent. I mean they killed Mufasa! I'm still scared because of that. This actually sound quite interesting, I might check it out.
Haven't there already been Red Riding Hood themed horrors?
...and pornos?
At this stage we're so low on ideas we're recycling the old ideas of drawing horror from old childhood tales? And the Twilight people?
I for one am predicting total disaster. If Dead Space 2 was any indication, people have completely forgotten how to make horror. No one goes for atmosphere or proper psychological elements, it's all slasher bullshit and some allusions to serial killers. The most recent good horror flick i've seen was made in the 90s for fucks sake. What ever happened to the Team Silent people? Or maybe Frictional Games could loan Hollywood a few writers. I'm just sick of crappy horrors.
But to those with the balls to check it out, i should also bring up The Fighter, RED, and District 9. People are beginning to remember how to make good sports flicks, action flicks, and sci-fi flicks. Maybe one aspect of Red Riding Hood will lead to a good horror flick in the future.
...and maybe a monkey will fly out of my ass and snap my dogs neck...

In the original version:Little Red Riding Hood and her Grandmother are dead and the wolf got away.
What even more disturbing was that the Wolf tricked Red into unknowingly eating her own gradmother's flesh and blood.
The Grimm Brothers,and Charles Perrault converted M rated gorefest into an E rated fairy tale.

The moral I always got out of that story was, "always pack heat." Did the original really end with her getting eaten? I knew the grandmother did, but not the kid too.Ghengis John said:

OT: the original brothers grim is in actuality very violent and if i remember correctly contains a strip tease.
Just watch the first Transformers movie (and by that, I mean the ONLY transformers movie from the 80's). that should make you feel a bit better about the world. (but only a bit).Crazy_Dude said:
OT: (offtopic, sorta): Imagine if Michael Bay directed Red Riding Hood... I can only imagine how immensely fucked up that would be... but I bet it would also be funny at the same time out of sheer stupidity.

Ok but answer me this: Why, when a producer decides to say do a TRANSFORMERS movie, does he not hire a writer who has maybe, i don't know, seen 1 episode? My problem is that in these remakes, the story is often sub, sub, sub par. There was no reason to have the central plot to the movies be so brain-boilingly gawdaful. Essentially, i want to know why the plot must be re-written if it came from a tv show or comic, but is more frequently lovingly done tribute in the case of a BOOK. See, LotR, Narnia, Jurrassic Park, DaVinci Code.
Although in defense of Michael Bay, he really would not know a good story if it kicked him in the junk.
It is debatable. The trend among internet kiddies is to assume everything that exists has been watered down and pasteurized for modern audiences. That the old stories were all "darker" and "cooler" and that any differences are the result of pc tampering. The truth is however that the tale was told differently in all kinds of places. The girl wasn't always saved by a woodsman, some stories have her eaten up, others have her escaping. I read an old version where she was "eaten all up" and assumed this was the oldest version, but turns out the french never told it that way. And some folks had her tied to the wolf by a string and then she escapes. So again, "original" is a hard thing to peg down for a story this old.archvile93 said:
It's "loosely based" on the story.
That is to say, it'll have nothing in common except a wolf and a girl with a red cloak, and potentially a grandmother of some sort. How they even manage to write that very simple story skeleton into a full fledged horror film is beyond me.
