Little Red Riding Hood in a gothic love triangle?
|
Why grandma, what big ironically-worn cross necklaces you have!
Yes, just when you think Hollywood couldn't possibly remake, revamp, retell, re-imagine, re...well, you get the idea, Variety is reporting that H-town is now retelling the classic fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood" in a new movie.
I'll give you a moment to let that sink in.

Oh, did I also mention it's a Gothic retelling?
...
...
With a love triangle thrown in for good measure?
...
...
A teenage love triangle?
...
...
Yeah.
While details of the script aren't available (other than it's being written by David Johnson), I can't help imagining Little Red making out with a wolf. And I really, really, really, don't want to know grandma's role in this whole thing.
On the bright side, however, at least for all you Twihards, the film's director is none other than Catherine Hardwicke, the chick behind the "Twilight" movie.
So, who knows? Maybe it will be a big hit. I mean, we've already embraced vampire/mortal love. Why not bestiality?
(Shudder)

Speaking of zombies, I got turned on to zombies after watching "Shaun of the Dead." Simon Pegg and Nick Frost--what is not to like.
And zombies...man don't they just describe our culture to a tee?

Perhaps the wolf will turn out to be a kind of "beauty and the beast" deal--you know, a bewitched prince--with "Grama" as some kind of evil witch who has enslaved the poor wolf--AND has nefarious plans for LRRH. And LRRH (Little Red Riding Hood) will set him free and he takes her away to his magical castle in the land of hollalee.
Otherwise I NOT down for bestiality!
But Tarantino's new flick (that cannot be named in a family publication) was AWESOME--as long as you ignore the rampant amorality of the idea of Jews rampaging through occupied France killing and carving up Nazis' many of whom probably did not want to be part of werhmacht to begin with. Hey it's just a movie--although at the end I wanted to jump and yell "AW YEAH!"

I just bought that book. Haven't started it yet but it looks great.
August 26, 2009 at 9:10 a.m.There is a gory-gothic retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice called Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Big hit. Can't wait to read it.

1. Don't call me darlin' (unless you buy me dinner, in which case, you can call me whatever you want).
2. We'll have to agree to disagree. While killin' Nazis is awesome, so is a gothic Little Red Riding Hood teenage love triangle in my humble opinion.
August 25, 2009 at 9:12 a.m.The new Tarentino movie is out, with Brad Pitt no less, and this is all the "Hollywood" you could come up with? Come on darlin', try a little harder.
August 25, 2009 at 6:38 a.m.IF you read the original Grims fairy tales, they are all sort of gruesome, they have been re-writing over time and made less grim.
The guy did have a thing against wolfs tho, always the villain, chopped up by the wood cutter and made into stew by the three little pigs. LOL
August 24, 2009 at 6:45 p.m.Not unless there is witch and a trail of bread crumbs.
August 24, 2009 at 6:19 p.m.If they're taking a nice little story from our childhood and adapting to a dark and eerie setting, I'd say that Tim Burton is lined up to direct. I know he's not, but he makes everything so dark and gloomy. Just my opinion, look what he did to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I know people say that the book was a little darker than the original film, but gosh darnit, Gene Wilder did a good job. I haven't even seen the remake because I'm scared it will change how I see the first film, and I don't want that to change.
