Amanda is featured in Newsweek and Catherine Hardwicke discusses “Red Riding Hood.” I love this photo so fingers crossed we’ll get outtakes!

On a gloomy and wet California day, director Catherine Hardwicke curls up in her office on the Warner Bros. lot with a book in her hand. This isn’t your average bedtime story. It’s called Little Red Riding Hood Uncloaked: Sex, Morality, and the Evolution of a Fairy Tale. She only recently discovered it, and she flips through the pages like a schoolgirl hyped on caffeine. “Maybe you like ‘Red Riding Hood’ when you’re 5,” Hardwicke says. “When you’re 10, you start latching on to it for another reason—why did she get in bed with the wolf?” Hardwicke even compares the beast to a love interest. “It represents a dark animal nature which is close to sexuality. In the traditional story, the wolf cross-dresses and lures her into bed. That’s pretty kinky right there! The wolf is the original tranny. What a kinky wolf!” Her entire face lights up. “A granny tranny!”

Here’s a preview of the interview with Justin Timberlake:

Amanda Seyfried has a message for critics who say her upcoming “Little Red Riding Hood” feels an awful lot like “Twilight”: It’s totally different!

That’s what the 25-year-old actress told Justin Timberlake during a phone interview…which she conducted naked.

“I think I should mention that I’m not wearing any clothes,” Seyfried revealed to the singer in the March cover story in Interview magazine.

Seyfried and Timberlake star together in Andrew Niccol’s upcoming sci-fi flick “Now.”

Since the trailer for director Catherine Hardwicke’s “Red Riding Hood” debuted, the blogosphere has been buzzing with comparisons between the film and the first “Twilight,” which was also directed by Hardwicke.

Critics have pointed to similar storylines of a love triangle, supernatural occurrences and gruesome murders.

“We have so many elements that make it completely different,” Seyfried insisted, adding that “we’ve modernized the story.”

When Timberlake said he thought it would hard to do a Red Riding Hood adaptation, Seyfried responded.

“What we’ve done is just one way. We’re just telling a story – our version of the story. It’s not everybody’s version of the story, but it’s the way we wanted to make it. If you don’t like it then tough,” the “Big Love” and “Mamma Mia!” star said laughing.

After discussing the movie, Seyfried suddenly revealed she was naked.

“Well if that’s how you’d like to be interviewed then that’s totally fine,” the singer said.

“I’m most comfortable in my birthday suit,” she acknowledged.

Catching up with a few updates tonight – stay tuned! Here’s info on an upcoming project Amanda will be taking part in with Mark Webber:

A filmmakers true life relationship with his son is center stage in a new indie drama in which Michael Cera, Amanda Seyfried, Shannyn Sossamon and Jason Ritter either co-star or cameo as heightened versions of themselves.

Mark Webber, an indie actor whose biggest credit is playing Stephen Stills in the cult movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, wrote the script. He also stars in and is directing the untitled film, which is in production in Los Angeles.

Webber, repped by Innovative, is producing through his company Poor Rich Kids along with his partners, Liz Destro, Mat Spraggala, and Molly Engelhart.

The movie (with a budget well below $1 million) centers on a struggling single father, an actor played by Webber, raising his two-year-old son after the death of the child’s mother. Because the story so closely mirrors Webber’s own life story, he is using his own two-and-a-half year old son to play the young boy in the film.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up! We’ll bring you more details as we get them!

As the year comes to closer to an end, more lists should pop up and today she’s one of Teen Vogue’s Best-Dressed Celebrities of 2010, coming in at #17. Check Amanda, and the rest of the list, here. Can’t wait to see Amanda on the red carpet in 2011!

Here’s a fantastic interview Hero Complex did with director Catherine Hardwicke in which she gives us great detail into the process of “Red Riding Hood”, including info on the song featured in the trailer which I know I was very curious about. You can check it out here or below. Enjoy!

Catherine Hardwicke understands impetuous teen heroines the way George Lucas reverse-engineers robot sidekicks. In March, the director of “Twilight” and “Thirteen” will unleash her newest troublemaker upon the world with a dark, sensuous spin on “Red Riding Hood.” Hardwicke’s trailer for “Red Riding Hood,” which stars Amanda Seyfried in the title role, has just premiered on Apple.com. Hero Complex writer Rebecca Keegan spoke to Hardwicke about modernizing the fairy tale, building her own medieval world and casting (as Little Red’s heartthrob) the actor who almost played Edward in “Twilight.”

RK: This red riding hood isn’t so little. She’s a young woman, apparently caught in a love triangle. Where did the idea of sexing up this folk tale originate?

CH: It came from Leonardo DiCaprio. He came up with the idea, “Wouldn’t it be cool to do a Gothic twist on Red Riding Hood, with the wolf being a werewolf, and just have a cool, sexy romantic thriller?” His company, Appian Way, commissioned David Leslie Johnson who wrote “Orphan” with them to write the screenplay.

RK: Where did you shoot this?

CH: Vancouver. It’s mostly a stage build. We had to build the village from scratch. It’s our own created world. Our village has very muscular, heavy timber construction. All the buildings are raised up on stilts and they have spikes because they’ve lived in fear, and paranoia for decades as they’ve been menaced by this wolf.

RK: After making “Twilight,” where fans felt such ownership over the story, is this a film in which you can create your own visual world?

CH: I think so. There’s so many versions of Red Riding Hood. It goes back 700 years. It’s much more open to interpretation. At the end of the fairy tale she’s saved by a woodcutter. That’s one of the reasons why we have the houses all out of heavy construction. We stayed true to the oldest telling of the stories in a lot of ways. There’s a great book called [Bruno Bettelheim's] “The Uses of Enchantment,” delving into the meaning and philosophy of fairy tales and why these stories have endured and gotten under our skin. That was very inspiring to me.
