Amanda Seyfried to play Hardwicke’s Red Riding Hood

Emma Rowley at Indie Movies Online

Amanda Seyfried is set to don a red hood and go skipping through the woods. According to the LA Times, the Jennifer’s Body star has signed up to play the lead in The Girl With The Red Riding Hood, a modern-day take on the Brothers Grimm tale.

The script, which was written by David Leslie Johnson (who also wrote the Vera Farmiga/Peter Sarsgaard horror, Orphan) has had a lot of industry and online buzz, and made the 2009 Black List. It’s a contemporary adaptation of the story, with what’s described as a gothic tone (what does that mean these days? Horror? An emo score? A live burial in a cellar?) and a love triangle at its heart.

/Film UK – A Special Screening of Moon, An Alice in Wonderland Controversy Exclusive, and Much, Much More

by Brendon Connelly at Slash Films

Coming to you weekly from my vantage point in good old Blighty, it’s Slashfilm UK. Anglos and Anglophiles rejoice as every Friday I’ll be bringing you a round up of news, links and coverage specific to the motion picture comings and goings here in the UK. Sometimes we’ll be talking about films that have already played in the US, other times it will be films that won’t make it to the US for a good while yet, and from time to time you’ll read about films that will never make it to the US at all.

Vue and Odeon have removed all Wonderland posters and standees from their cinemas and have stopped playing the trailers.

Since then, Disney have negotiated terms with Cineworld, so the film is back on for at least some of us. Your 3D options are now Cineworld and IMAX, I believe – though any independents with a 3D screen that will play host to the picture, please do let me know – and there are still negotiations ongoing with Vue and Odeon, so fingers crossed.

by Graeme McMillian at io9

Despite tweets and speculation to the contrary, Ultimate Spider-Man writer Brian Michael Bendis would like you all to know one thing: He’s really not involved with the writing of the Spider-Man movie reboot. Honest.

“[I] see quite a few web sites completely making stuff up that i never said or hinted at. i did not say i was now the writer of the movie. the movie has a writer and a damn good one. and as was just announced i am writing my own movie for universal based on my GN fire (on sale now ) all i said was i had an interesting morning over there in spidey land.”

Top 10 Greek Gods – Krystal

1. Kronos – Leader and the youngest of the first generation of Titans, divine descendants of Gaia, the earth, and Uranus, the sky.
(The Titan’s may have lost to gods, but they were there first.)

2. Zeus – The king of the gods, the ruler of Mount Olympus and the god of the sky and thunder. His symbols are the thunderbolt, eagle, bull, and oak.
(King of the gods indeed, only his father held him back for a short while.)

3. Ares – God of war, murder and bloodshed. Brother to Athena, and is the son of Zeus. Has an affair with Aphrodite. His symbols are vultures, dogs, boars, and a spear.
(The God of WAR gets a special place in my heart because without him the Greek myth world sure would be boring.)

4. Dionysus – God of wine, parties/festivals, madness and merriment. He represents not only the intoxicating power of wine, but also its social and beneficial influences. His symbols are the grape vine, ivy, and thyrsus.
(Now this boy knows how to party.)

5. Hades – God of the underworld and wealth. Brother of Poseidon, Zeus and Hera, and consort to Persephone. His symbols are the bident, the Helm of Darkness, and the three-headed dog, Cerberus.
(Nothing like a guy who rules over your death. Be nice and don’t get on his bad side.)

6. Apollo – God of music, medicine, health, prophecies, poetry, and archery. Also said to be the god of light and truth. Is associated with the sun. Also referred to as the most handsome of the gods. He is Artemis’s twin brother, and son of Zeus. His symbols are the bow, lyre, and laurel.
(The shining light over your day, Apollo is worthy of praise unless you like storms.)

7. Poseidon – God of the sea. He created horses from sea foam. God of earthquakes as well. Also called ‘Earth Shaker’ and ‘Storm Bringer’. His symbols are horses, sea foam, dolphins, and a trident.
(Speaking of storms… Poseidon will mess you up. Especially me, since I live in California)

8. Eros – The primordial god of sexual love and beauty. He was also worshipped as a fertility deity.
(Babies anyone?)

9. Hephaestus – God of fire and the forge (god of fire and smiths) with very weak legs. He was thrown off Mount Olympus as a baby by his mother and in some stories his father. He makes armor for the gods and other heroes like Achilles. Son of Hera and Zeus is his father in some accounts. Married to Aphrodite, but she does not love him because he is deformed and, as a result, is cheating on him with Ares. He had a daughter named Pandora. His symbols are an axe, a hammer and a flame.
(This dude is married to the Goddess of LOVE… give the boy some credit.)

10. Hermes – God of flight, thieves, mischief, commerce, and travelers. Messenger of the gods. He showed the way for the dead souls to Hades’s realm. He shows up in more myths than any other god or goddess. Likes to trick people and is very inventive. Hermes invented the lyre using a turtle shell and sinew. His symbols are the caduceus and winged boots.
(This dude is just awesome because of his shoes.)

Top 10 Greek Goddesses – Krystal

1. Gaia – Primal Greek goddess personifying the Earth, the Greek version of “Mother Nature”.
(Of course she is number 1.)

2. Rhea – Titaness daughter of Uranus, the sky, and Gaia, the earth, in classical Greek mythology. She was known as “the mother of gods.”
(This woman betrayed her husband to save her kids from his belly. You go girl.)

3. Aphrodite – Goddess of love, lust, beauty, wife of Hephaestus. Ares is her lover. Eros is her son. Known as the most beautiful of the Greek goddesses. Her symbols are the scepter, myrtle, and dove.
(This woman can really mess with your life if you piss her off, but she can also bestow on you great love and happiness.)

4. Artemis – Goddess of the hunt, wild things, and the moon. Protector of the young. She became associated with the moon. Apollo is her twin brother. Artemis is a virgin goddess. Her symbols are the bow, dogs, and deer.
(I love Artemis, everything about her is good and virginal. She is the lover of nature, which I love too.)

5. Athena – Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, handicrafts and reason. Sister of Ares, and is the daughter of Zeus. Sprung from Zeus’s head in full body armor. She is the wisest of the gods. Her symbols are the aegis, owl, and olive tree.
(You have to be a strong woman to be related to Ares. She is definitely on par with him as for strength.)

6. Demeter – Goddess of fertility, agriculture, grain and harvest. Demeter is a daughter of Cronus and Rhea and sister of Zeus. Her symbols are the scepter, torch, and corn.
(This is the mother who stopped the season in their midst for love and concern of her daughter Persephone. Don’t mess with her or you could starve.)

7. Persephone – Queen of the Underworld and the parthenogenic daughter of Demeter.
(In some ways I dislike her for being tricked to be with Hades, but she also can stand him which gives her a lot of credit.)

8. Hera – Goddess of marriage, women, and childbirth. Zeus’ wife and sister. Appears with peacock feathers often. Her symbols are the scepter, diadem, and peacock.
(She may be the wife of Zeus, but I still hate the jealous b****.)

9. Hestia – Goddess of the hearth and home, the focal point of every household. Daughter of Rhea and Cronus. Gave up her seat as one of the Twelve Olympians to tend to the sacred flame on Mount Olympus for Dionysus. Her symbol is the hearth.
(What can I say, she is a goddess of the caring and compassionate kind.)

10. Nyx – Primordial goddess of the night. A shadowy figure, Nyx stood at or near the beginning of creation, and was the mother of personified gods such as Hypnos (sleep) and Thánatos (death).
(I love the night… so she makes my list.)
