Leonardo DiCaprio's Production Company & The Writer of ORPHAN Bring You...LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD!?!?
Merrick here...
Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way company is pulling together a "reimagining" of LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD with ORPHAN scriptwriter David Leslie Johnson.
The best-known version of the story -- in which a wolf disguises himself to fool a girl delivering food to her sick grandmother in the forest -- was published in the 19th century by the Brothers Grimm. Earlier oral versions of the tale, which date back to the Middle Ages, are far darker and sometimes involve a werewolf rather than a wolf; the first published version, by Charles Perrault, concludes with Red Riding Hood eaten by the wolf, with no happy ending.
...reveals Variety.
The project is not being set-up for Leo to star in.
This could work well enough, I suppose, although this interpretation might interest me more:
A LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD by way of Rob Zombie, or Michael Bay (not sure which the pic suggests more). You know you can imagine it...

Didn't that happen with a sex pistols tune once?
-
...is a favorite. I like SNOW WHITE: A TALE OF TERROR with Sigourney Weaver too.
-
bring you THE THREE LITTLE PIGS
-
And this guy is getting more work? Please...
-
...I really wanted NO SUCH THING to be better than it was.
-
... six week old deviled eggs with mayo? I was thinking of THE ORPHANAGE. Oh well.

Starring Thomas Jane as The Wolf's brother in law Lenny...in a John Boorman film!!!

In the original story the red referred to Ridinghood's period bl

since an hour ago there's been like 5 new updates
-
First the news story ,which isn't really cool, then the suggestion that'd we all enjoy beastiality porn. Speak for yourself man,i'm only into human chicks.
-
It was called Freeway and it was OUTSTANDING.
-
...that came up with this one?
-
Set in the mid 1970s New York City. The wolf is actually a drug dealer. Hard R rated. THEN I might see it.
-
..i can't believe nobody is gonna mention Matthew Bright's (the writer of Forbidden Zone) modern re-imagining of LRRH called "Freeway" starring Reese Witherspoon as Little Red Riding Hood and Kiefer Sutherland as The Big Bad Wolf.
..i consider it a cult classic in my own mind. it's also the movie that first made me take notice of Reese Witherspoon before she was a big star. (she has never been hotter than she was in this movie)
i also believe the writer/director did a straight to video sequel but i never saw that one. -
oh nice, good job you beat me!
-
lololollololollololollololollololollololollololollololollololollololollololollololollololol.
-
33 year old dwarf prostitutes in every one of his scripts from here on out. Much like Ron Howard has to include his brother Clint.
-
The Freeway sequel showed up on the premium cable channels... I saw Freeway 2 during the wee hours of the morning, and was tripped out to see Vincent Gallo as a cross-dressing version of the witch in what was apparently a Hansel and Gretel retelling. Very odd.
-
...I'm looking forward to the porn version: RIDING RED'S LITTLE RED HOOD.
Oh, the title possibilities... -
...that both Red and Grandma know how to show their appreciation to the WOODsman.
-
that embedded pic looks like Eva Mendes in one of those Annie Leibovitz re-creations of storybook tales?
-
That the picture implies a romantic picnic with the Wolf and Red by showing the champagne bottle and it also implies sex by showning Red wearing the thigh highs. Beastiality... no thanks.
-
I just spray farted at your Woodsman comment.
-
ya kno it's weird the sheer amount of hansel and gretel retellings there are on late night cable and straight to video horror versions and they all suck shit. lol.
the most recent one i caught was from 2002 and it had Delta Burke as the wicked stepmother and Howie Mandel as The Sandman if you can believe that. fuckin weird as hell...it was kind of a ripoff of Shrek's pop comedy style. -
just made a few years ago and called "The Village?" -- Might as well have been. Maybe grounding that movie as LRR would've made it a little more solid.

Wait the write of Orphan? I thought I read Orphanage...
by spectrebeeyatch
Orphan was hilarious. So this might have promise... If it i meant to be funny that is.
-
who takes care of the ill grandmother who is also a werewolf, a crossdresser, a hermaphrodite who had the wrong shit removed, and a serial killer. Shit will go single white female with a werewolf problem near the end thanks to a full moon. could be fun.

Mario Van Peebles Presents...
by throughthebrokenwindowwithdancindelroyli
BLACK GOLDILOCKS starring Cuba Gooding Jr. as Papa Bear
-
Somebody needs to do a movie version of the musical Into the Woods and just get all the dirty dark fairy tales out of the way in one.
-
And I could give two shits and a fuck about this or any other version of Little Red Ridding Hood or Cinderella or what ever they are remaking .
-
liljuniorbrown. Why are you even in the thread? And it's COULDN'T give two shits and a fuck.
-
Felt like movies they used to make in the early nineties, only more disturbing. Like a good cross between The Good Son and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Go see it you jaded fucks.
-
Kiefer Sutherland and Reese Witherspoon in an incredibly fun movie. Rent it if you've never seen it.
-
Is it ever going to actually extrude some sort of product? Right about now, they've got a dozen projects, and I haven't heard of any of them actually getting anywhere...

"The project is not being set-up for Leo to star in"
by fa_tass_dinomolester
Oh good. I was worried there for a sec...just had this image of Leo in a red dress and a really fake-looking wig. Well okay, then, I'm sure this project will be totally worthwhile and necessary now.
-
I wonder why Disney has never tackled Red Riding Hood, or Hansel and Gretel for that matter. Seems like good material to work with if they ever wanted to return to their glory days.
-
That movie was AWESOME. Little Red Riding Hood with Jack Bauer as the wolf and Reese Witherspoon as a trashy little red riding hood/juevenille delinquent? How can this movie possibly live up to that? It's the gold standard. In fact I'm pretty sure Jack will put Leo's head in a bowling back if he finds out about this.
-
Oops.
-
in that movie with Paul Rudd when they had to go after that sex picture they sent to his ugly ass girlfriend across the US in college road trip movie shakakahn.
-
Agreed, ORPHAN was good. The twist worked! And that's a testament to how damn good that little girl was in the movie. She was convincing as hell as someone who could pull of being an angel in one scene and a total demon in the next. Good work by Fermiga and Saarsgard, too.
-
As a Cripp wearing red who ends up fighting racist werewolves with his granny in the inner city---you know you'd see that!
-
I don't really know my gang colors all that well. Sorry.
-
Had no idea the fairytale and beastiality porn people were so sensitive. Sorry to offend.
-
Agreed! The acting, especially by that little girl, elevated the film to another level.
-
she dies in the end
-
Snoop was (is?) a crip.
-
"The Olsen twins get raped by genetically engineered werewolves?" I'm reminded of that. Someone should google the original, not me of course. What do you think I am, some kind of deviant?
-
I'd pay serious cash to see "Hood"
-
You stole my old nick and added a _ you fucker!!!
-
You know it to be true.

Anyone remember that Snow White film with Sigourney Weaver?
by logan_1973
Live action, adult-themed, probably rated at least PG. Good film. I love the idea of kids' stories being turned darker. This could work, and i'm still waiting for the film adaptation of Todd McFarlane's OZ sculptures.
-
A shitty writer for a shitty movie that nobody saw because the trailers looked so shitty.
-
Hopefully this script follows the darker aspects of the original story. I hope they cast a talented actor a la Serkis for the role of the wolf in lieu of doing a CGI heavy representation. Orphan was awesome.
-
...it involves the 19-year-old versions of Little Red, Cinderella, Snow White and Alice in a hair-pulling, dress-tearing catfight that ends in a mini-swimming pool of vegetable oil.
-
named "Clancy Brown"
-
"The project is not being set-up for Leo to star in." Like we didn't already know that shit!
-
He kinda reminded me of Eddie Vedder... But I want to see some werewolves.
-
The originals weren't sugar coated Disney crap. First thing I thought of when I saw this was Freeway, I agree with the posters above it was excellent. Oliver Stone was on a fucking roll back in the day.
-
must be pissed.
-
The 'twist' in the orphan is unexpected to me at least. Not that I’ve watched it or ever intend to, (I got the plot synopsis of wikipedia, look, I’m bored in work okay!). But I’m sure any good writing was ruined by bad direction, editing, and acting, by the trailer at least it looks shite, horror for idots. In the hands of a good director, say Frank Darabont or even M.Night it could have been.. well good at least.
Look I know I didn’t even see the movie, but I’ve seen to many crap movies this year already. As for checking the plot out on wikipedia , it’s a good way of purging my curiosity of ‘twist’ movies that I know are going to be shit ,but still have to know what the twist is without wasting my time sitting through yet another crapfest. I did it with Right at Your Door as well.
Does anyone else do this? Anyone?
-
"The Company of Wolves" in 1985 and the animated family flick "Hoodwinked"
-
Check it out, it's been done already as a short film:
http://tinyurl.com/nevsfu
Also as someone said before, "Company of Wolves" has covered the same ground. But this short film does whole gamut of legends.
Plus there was that other short film with Christina Ricci... -

Reimagine: Arnold Schwarzenegger as L'il Red Riding Hood
by mrmysteryguest
He'd ventilate the wolf and say something like: "I made da fur fly!"
-
A reboot of a fairy tale, what a new and interesting idea. Call me when someone decides to make a movie out of Toby Barlow's Sharp Teeth. That is a werewolf movie I could get it up for.
