Latest Film Trailers: Red Riding Hood

Last week, audiences rushed to see the latest instalment of wizarding magic, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. Those millions also previewed the latest film trailer for Red Riding Hood, Catherine Twilight' Hardwicke's melodramatic take on the well-known folktale.

From this trailer it would appear that Red Riding Hood has been neatly packaged for the Twihards as another woodsy romantic-fantasy-thriller, with more sex to account for the three years older and wiser its audience has become.

The synopsis released with the film certainly reinforces the dramatic tone and content of the Twilight films. Amanda Seyfried plays Valerie, a nubile young woman betrothed by her parents to a wealthy man but desperately in love with a broody outsider. Before Valerie can flee with her forbidden lover, her older sister is found killed by the legendary werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their medieval village. The Wolf is unsatisfied with the monthly animal sacrifice offered by the villagers and under a blood red moon begins to pick off the villagers. The village is gripped by panic as a famed werewolf hunter warns that in its human form by day, the Wolf could be any one of them. Valerie soon discovers she has a unique bond with the beast and is both suspect and bait.

However, perhaps it is unfair to judge Hardwicke's latest film by these standards. Though they are technically short previews, film trailers in practice are artfully constructed exhibits of editing and audience targeting, capable of obscuring and promoting to the will of film executives.

Indeed, Hardwicke's contribution to the Twilight saga, the first film Twilight, is generally recognised as the strongest of the film franchise and it certainly bore the impression of Hardwicke's previous experience. On the one hand, borne out from her directorial debut Thirteen, Hardwicke clearly has a keen understanding of the self-involved state of female adolescence that can dramatise any decision to a grandiose, divinely fated scale.

On the other hand, her background as a production designer showed strongly in the convincing texture and detail of the film's closed world in the regular denim-and-parkas Forks High School and the eerily lovely Pacific Northwest setting lushly rendered.

This latest film trailer demonstrates that Red Riding Hood has a distinctive production design nailed down. Furthermore, Gary Oldman and Amanda Seyfried have proven themselves strong actors capable of rising above the cheesiest camp. The soundtrack bodes well too, with bellowing Inception horns and a new track from electro-ominous Fever Ray.
