Will Catherine Hardwicke’s Red Riding Hood just feel like another Twilight? That’s certainly been a widespread assumption as the film has gone through production. Now, there’s a trailer and… well, I can’t see it putting the assumption to rest just yet.
What’s with the repeated O-face expressions, Ms. Seyfried?*
See the trailer at Apple for best possible quality.
Hardwicke has spoken to The LA Times, and a lot of what she says is interesting, and shows an engagement with the themes and characters of her story that is very encouraging. Of course, you’ll find far more director interviews that talk the talk than you will movies that actually walk the walk.
Most interesting little bit of business from the interview:
I have a scene that feels like Burning Man, which of course was itself inspired by medieval scenes of burning effigies. In the film, the town feels like they’ve conquered the wolf. They feel justified in celebrating. They build this giant wolf effigy, a huge bonfire, everyone’s dancing like crazy and partying and going wild, so I used the Bosch painting “The Garden of Earthly Delights” as my inspiration for that. We built all the instruments in the Bosch painting, a hurdy gurdy, standing horn pipes, the same blue drums. We commissioned this band from Sweden called Fever Ray. She’s always performing in radical costumes, she’s like the Lady Gaga of Sweden. In our movie she’s wearing a harvest mask with a corn husk face and she’s singing and everybody’s dancing and singing. Of course it all goes to hell soon enough but it’s fun for a while.
Sounds like it might be…
*I think that’s her O-face, but I’ve only got Chloe to go on.
Today at Kapow, DC announced that they would be taking an existing character and rebooting them as a very prominent gay DC character. I wonder if Kapow cosplayers beat them to it?

At Kapow in London this morning, DC co-publisher Dan DiDio clarified the company’s publishing schedule, by numbers at least. He confirmed that the company will stick to publishing fifty-two ongoing titles in the DC Universe but they will always be “new” and constantly refreshing. So, basically, we can look forward to September and those zero…
