Thanks to Brian for passing on the information that Amanda will be making an appearance on the Regis & Kelly show on May 14th. We’ll do our best to bring you coverage from the show when it airs! With “Letters to Juliet” right around the corner, Amanda will likely be making her way on the talk show circuit, so I will compile a media calendar in the sidebar soon.
In a quick gallery update, a good number of new candids of Amanda and Dominic yesterday were added here. Make sure to check them out!
Now that she’s been assured that “The Girl With the Red Riding Hood” would be no “Twilight,” Amanda Seyfried is all in for shooting the lead role in the “super sexy” retelling of the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale, directed by Catherine Hardwicke. But Seyfried, who will next be seen in the romantic flick “Letters to Juliet, admitted to feeling a bit intimidated by the news that Julie Christie and Gary Oldman are in talks to join the cast.
“[Oldman and Christie are] are in talks,” she told MTV News. “I mean, come on, that’s ridiculous. That’s amazing. And it’s final this week: They finalized the casting for my [one] love interest [to be played by Shiloh Fernandez] and they finalized the casting for my other love interest, [Max Irons].”
Seyfried is excited to begin working with Hardwicke when filming begins in July. “She is ridiculous,” she praised. “[She's got a] really cool vision.”
Still, the actress said that though she’d met Hardwicke before, she wasn’t about to jump into the project without making sure it was right for her. “I’m always kind of careful about what I choose,” Seyfried said. “I had known her kind of a little bit before, when I was dating Emile Hirsch, and I had been to her house before. That was years ago. And when I had met with her again, she talked about this movie. I completely fell in love with her idea and trusted her form that moment on, and I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m down.’ ”
A big thank you to Hilary from the lovely Saoirse Ronan Web for being amazing and sending us these gorgeous photos of Amanda at the Tribeca Film Festival. And a big thank you to Lola for the heads up on them previously, as well. Enjoy!

In “Letters to Juliet,” opening May 14, Amanda Seyfried’s Sophie is torn between two guys: the multifaceted Brit hottie Charlie (Aussie newcomer Christopher Egan) and her fiancé, the equally hot but clueless chef Victor (Gael Garcia Bernal). Call it Sophie’s choice — she eventually does choose between the two.
Although Seyfried’s co-stars, Egan and Bernal, promise plenty of eye candy in “Juliet,” the beautiful Italian countryside in the city of Verona (home of Shakespeare’s Juliet), where the movie is partly set, is also eye-catching. As part of our Summer Movie Preview, MTV News spoke to Seyfried, who admitted she’s still smitten with the flick’s gorgeous backdrop.
MTV: For a movie that’s basing itself on “Romeo and Juliet,” it’s not too heavy-handed about playing up that aspect.
Amanda Seyfried: Yeah, if “Romeo & Juliet” didn’t exist, the movie wouldn’t exist, but otherwise it’s its own story. Absolutely.
MTV: It feels like it’s going to be the romantic comedy for the summer.
Seyfried: That’d be really nice. I don’t know, I don’t find it as funny. I thought the script was super romantic, and I loved that. But there are some funny elements when I saw the first cut. Maybe, that’d be nice.
Still enjoying the city with Dominic, Amanda was spotted out earlier today. Photos are now up!

We of course already knew this, but Amanda is one of People’s Most Beautiful people. You can check out the photo in the gallery and the excerpt below!
From playing a bookworm (Jennifer’s Body) to a prostitute (Chloe), the actress, 24, has proved herself a chameleon. So she welcomes seeing a familiar face every day – her own. Seyfried tells PEOPLE: “When I wake up in the morning and I don’t have any makeup on, I don’t feel ugly. I just feel clean.”
