Fernandez joins Seyfried's 'Red Riding Hood'

Shiloh Fernandez will star opposite Amanda Seyfried in gothic horror romance Girl With The Red Riding Hood, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The Catherine Hardwicke-directed picture will reinvent the Brothers Grimm tale, casting Seyfried as a woman in a medieval village fending off a werewolf.

Fernandez, who auditioned for Hardwicke when she was making Twilight, has been cast as Peter, an orphaned woodcutter who is the romantic interest for Seyfried's character.

Leonardo DiCaprio is producing Warner Bros's Red Riding Hood through his Appian Way firm.
