Twilight's Catherine Hardwicke has agreed to direct The Girl With The Red Riding Hood, reports Variety.

The project, to be produced by Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way firm, has been described as a Gothic spin on the Little Red Riding Hood story.

David Johnson penned the script for the Warner Bros movie, which mixes the werewolf tale with a teenage love triangle plot.

Hardwicke is also attached to make Maximum Ride and 21 Jump Street for Sony and a modern-day update of Hamlet with Emile Hirsch in the lead role.
