Another Red in production
Nipping at the heels of this Amanda Seyfried and Kathryn Hardwicke collaboration, comes Red.
Felicia Day, of Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog and the final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, will portray a werewolf-hunting descendant of Little Red Riding Hood in the SyFy’s latest Saturday Original Movie production.
Scheduled to premiere in 2011, Red is Syfy’s latest re-imagining of classic fairy tales, legends and pop culture characters. The new line of films launched with Beauty and the Beasts: A Dark Tale, which starred Estella Warren, on February 27.
In Red, Red (Day) brings her fiance home, where he meets the family and learns about their business – hunting werewolves. He’s skeptical until bitten by a werewolf. When her family insists he must be killed, Red tries saving him. Red also stars Kavan Smith (Stargate Atlantis) and Stephen McHattie (Pontypool). Red is produced by Angela Mancuso and Vesuvius Productions in association with Chesler Perlmutter Productions.
Syfy is also developing films around the stories of Aladdin, Sinbad the Sailor and Hansel & Gretel, among other projects.
