'Red Riding Hood' film casts male lead (exclusive)

Shiloh Fernandez has nabbed the male romantic lead in "Girl With the Red Riding Hood," Warner Bros.' gothic horror re-imagining of the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale.

Catherine Hardwicke is directing the pic, in which Amanda Seyfried will play a woman in a medieval village being terrorized by a werewolf.

The movie is one of several projects casting for young actors as Hollywood rides a wave of youth-centered movies. But as much as Hollywood might want its young actors, studios are being very choosy. Fernandez is said to have screen-tested and read seven times before nabbing the role of Peter, an orphaned woodcutter for whom Seyfried falls, much to the displeasure of her family.

Fernandez, repped by Innovative Artists and Untitled Entertainment, has been on the cusp of a big break for awhile; he tested for the role of Edward for "Twilight" and for the lead in "Speed Racer." Among his credits are runs on the television shows "Jericho," "United States of Tara" and "Three Rivers."

Appian Way's Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson Killoran are producing with Julie Yorn. Lynn Harris and Niija Kuykendall oversee for Warners.

The visual development of “Little Red Riding Hood,” introduce the manner in which the literary tale has been adopted by contemporary artists, how the visual responds to the textual, and cultural attitudes embedded in reiterations of the tale.
