Amanda Seyfried returns to the big screen this week, her first movie since Letters To Juliet, in Red Riding Hood.

The movie is directed by Catherine Hardwicke, who has helmed a movie since Twilight, and she has reimagined the popular and well know story.

She has gathered a strong cast that also includes Gary Oldman, Billy Burke and Julie Christie as well as introducing us to Shiloh Fernandez and Max Irons.

Valerie is a beautiful young woman torn between two men. She is in love with a brooding outsider, Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Max Irons).

Unwilling to lose each other, Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when they learn that Valerie’s older sister has been killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village.

For years, the people have maintained an uneasy truce with the beast, offering the creature a monthly animal sacrifice.

But under a blood red moon, the wolf has upped the stakes by taking a human life. Hungry for revenge, the people call on famed werewolf hunter, Father Solomon (Gary Oldman), to help them kill the wolf.

But Solomon’s arrival brings unintended consequences as he warns that the wolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them.

As the death toll rises with each moon, Valerie begins to suspect that the werewolf could be someone she loves.

Red Riding Hood is released 15th April. Take a look at new clips from the movie:
