The Bouw-Man.
One would think that it’s a pretty risky proposition to transform a popular children’s story into a film reminiscent of “Twilight,” and direct it toward teens and young adults. From the preview it appears to be really loud and violent, and looks to play more as a horror film than anything else. I couldn’t help to be reminded of one of M. Night Shyamalan’s worst, “The Village,” when I was watching the trailer to “Red Riding Hood.” If it turns out anything like “The Village,” it potentially could be up for a “Razzie” as one of year’s worst. Amanda Seyfried has been a busy actress over the last year plus. She has starred in a romantic comedy (“Letters to Juliet”), a romantic drama (“Dear John”), an erotic thriller (“Chloe”) and a high school horror film (“Jennifer’s Body). Don’t know if any of these, including “Red Riding Hood,” are worth a darn. However, at least she’s diversifying her film portfolio.

Noodles: Prediction
Weirdly stylish enough to be mistaken for a Tim Burton film. This could be a fun concept movie, but I hope it doesn't do too well that we will be forced to see other re-imaginings like Goldilocks and the three bears. However, Jack and the Beanstalk would AWESOOOOOOME!
Opening Weekend Gross: $15 Million
