Julie Christie Eye's Role in 'Girl With the Red Riding Hood'


Screen legends Julie Christie and Gary Oldman are reportedly in talks to join 'The Girl With the Red Riding Hood,' Heat Vision is reporting.

Amanda Seyfried ('Dear John,' 'Letters to Juliet') stars in the "gothic horror reimagining of the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale," about a medieval woman who is terrorized by a werewolf. Shiloh Fernandez and Max Irons co-star as Seyfried's character's lover and fiance, respectively.

If cast, Christie would play Seyfried's grandmother who, according to the report, has a knack for knitting. Oldman would play Father Soloman, whose sole task is to find and kill the werewolf.

'Twilight's' Catherine Hardwicke directs.

The film would mark a major role for Christie, who has kept a relatively low profile since earning a Best Actress Oscar nomination for the 2006 film 'Away From Her.' Meanwhile, Oldman, who will appear in next summer's 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II,' has appeared in a number of projects in recent years, including 'The Book of Eli' and 'The Dark Knight.'
