Red Riding Hood' Star Amanda Seyfried Shoots Down Comparisons to 'Twilight

'The truth is, it's an entirely different story,' actress says.

Mythical folklore. Catherine Hardwicke. A steamy, young love triangle involving a pretty girl and two cute guys, one of whom may be a wolf.

There was no doubt that when the formula used to create the revamped fairy tale "Red Riding Hood" was revealed, "Twilight" comparisons were bound to be made. It's a roadblock that Amanda Seyfried, who plays the film's scarlet-caped protagonist, is entirely aware of.

MTV News caught up with Seyfried to discuss the film, which opens in theaters this Friday, and why moviegoers shouldn't go in expecting another "Twilight."

"It's a bummer that that's what's happening," Seyfried said of the inevitable "Twilight" association. The 25-year-old actress, who admitted she doesn't like when "an audience has [certain] expectations," recognized that a lot of it certainly has to do with "Red Riding Hood" director Catherine Hardwicke, who was at the helm of the first "Twilight Saga" movie. "That's her movie," Seyfried acknowledged.

Adding even more fuel to the "Twilight" fire is Seyfried's "Red Riding Hood" co-star Billy Burke, who plays her father in the film and who is known to Twi-hards as Bella Swan's dad. "Can't forget about that," she said with a smile, regarding Burke's involvement with both projects.

Still, she and her castmates, including her onscreen love interests Max Irons and Shiloh Fernandez, couldn't help but poke fun at the situation on set. "We'd make jokes about [Hardwicke] calling us Kristen [Stewart] and Rob [Pattinson] and Taylor [Lautner]," Seyfried told MTV. Interestingly enough, Fernandez was one of the actors originally considered for the role of brooding vampire Edward Cullen in "Twilight."

But Seyfried remains adamant about audiences being able to distinguish the difference between this film and the "Twilight Saga." "Red Riding Hood" is a new take on the classic fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood" that follows a young woman named Valerie, who is torn between choosing from two men, all while her small village is terrorized by a mysterious wolf.

"Yeah, I mean it does surround a girl coming of age in a love triangle, but that's a lot of movies," Seyfried said. "The truth is, it's an entirely different story.

"I think audiences are going to be really surprised when they end up seeing this movie because ... there's so many elements and there's so much going on," she assured, giving her own synopsis of the PG-13 chiller: "It's a murder mystery as well as a coming-of-age movie, and there's a lot of tension and it's scary. All those elements combine to be thrilling, I think."

YouTube Sensation Mr. Plinkett Branches Out With Weekly Review Show

Red Letter Media's Mike Stoklasa finishes evisceration of 'Star Wars,' creates 'Half in the Bag' to skewer movies on more regular basis.

His video eviscerations of the "Star Wars" prequels were among last year's most anticipated, widely viewed online videos, garnering millions of views, inspiring new discussions of copyright in the digital age, and making celebrity fans ranging from Simon Pegg to Roger Ebert. But now that Mike Stoklasa, aka Mr. Plinkett, has finished carving up George Lucas — his "Revenge of Nadine: Episode III Review Epilogue" dropped Thursday (March 10) — the Milwaukee based writer/director turned millennial critic is breaking out the entire cutlery set for his next target.

And this time, nobody will be safe, Stoklasa laughed in an interview with MTV News.

Titled "Half in the Bag," Stoklasa and friend Jay Bauman have launched a new online review program which will skewer current Hollywood movies in a more traditional review format, a "mix between 'Pee-Wee's Playhouse' and 'At the Movies,'" Stoklasa revealed in an email conversation. Their first effort, which imagines the pair as VCR repairmen sent to Mr. Plinkett's house, premiered late Friday evening (March 11).

The show is an attempt to cross something like "Siskel and Ebert" with a 80s era sitcom, Stoklasa explained, with the two hosts sitting across from each other while discussing new releases. For Stoklasa, it means that for the first time he'll be lobbing critical bombs in front of the camera, rather than from behind, a switch he said he made, not without some trepidation, to avoid "the same old thing."

"I was a bit concerned with revealing the 'man behind the curtain,', but it's just not in my nature to go on doing the same thing. If I did that people would say 'The Plinkett reviews are getting old and worn out,'" he wrote. "We don't want things to stay the same."

An expansion of and not a replacement for the trademark video stylings of Mr. Plinkett, the program is also an attempt to "make new material for people on a regular basis" while avoiding the labor intensive process inherent in the earlier reviews, Stoklasa wrote.

"I like talking about movies and analyzing them, but sometimes it's fun to deviate into other things and the traditional Mr. Plinkett reviews just take a really long time to make," he wrote. "I will still continue to make the Mr. Plinkett reviews where I do the voice and everything, but we're going to do this too."

But not all will be different, Stoklasa cautioned. Fans of his earlier reviews will see a familiar through-line, he said, as the program will contain cutaways, random sound effects, and even skits, such as a portion of the first review where George Lucas comes to destroy their set.

Of those familiar tropes, perhaps the most familiar will be Plinkett himself, who will appear to audiences in front of the camera played by Rich Evans.

"We toyed with the idea of never showing his face and me dubbing over all of his lines, but it would have been very time consuming to light that for each shot and to have to do all the ADR," Stoklasa wrote. "Plus, I think Rich is funny in the part, he adds a lot to the role and makes it his own. Rich is really great with awkward physical comedy and comes up with a lot of good ideas on set. Hopefully people will appreciate that there is 'Plinkett A' and 'Plinkett B' and to understand that Plinkett A is not going away."

Since the show takes place in the fictional construct of Mr. Plinkett's living room, where the pair are on a never ending quest to fix an old VCR, Stoklasa believes there's room to criticize not just new movies, but any film that Plinkett might have in his expansive video catalogue, meaning that while the first episode centered on new films like "Drive Angry" and "The Adjustment Bureau," older films are not off-limits.

"The format is open to us doing anything," he said. "We'll probably wind up with more current stuff for the primary reviews, but we'll do old B-movies and stuff like that too. We love terrible old B-Movies quite a bit and I have a sick fascination with movies that are so bad they're funny."

For now, "the hope is to do it weekly," Stoklasa wrote. The next episode of "Half in the Bag" premiers early next week.

Usher Gets Sick, Walks Offstage Mid-Show In Berlin

Singer cancels kick off date of European leg of his OMG Tour due to illness.

Usher was forced to delay the kick off of his European OMG Tour on Wednesday night in Berlin because of illness. In a statement released to fans, the singer apologized for the last-minute scratch, saying he felt he was suffering from a "sinus complication." Although the gig was rescheduled for Thursday night at the O2 World arena in Berlin, his German fans apparently weren't appeased by his effort.

"I am truly sorry to all my fans in Berlin who were inconvenienced by tonight's postponement of the show," the singer said in a statement about Wednesday's aborted concert. "I was ill and felt that I would not have been able to give them the show that they properly deserve. ... I am looking forward to performing tomorrow and giving Berliners a great show."

According to the statement, the singer received treatment from doctors for a sinus issue that affected his balance, but a visibly still-ailing Usher was unable to finish the Thursday make-up show, reportedly abandoning the stage after just five songs.

On Friday (January 14), a follow-up statement from his spokesperson confirmed that he was too ill to play Thursday night's Berlin date and has been forced to reschedule the next three dates on the tour as well. The Rotterdam show originally scheduled for this week has been moved to March 1 and a show in Antwerp, also slated for this week, has been bumped to March 7.

The statement also updated the singer's condition: "Usher is suffering from upper respiratory illness, which is currently preventing him from performing a proper show. After consultation with doctors, he has been advised to reschedule the upcoming dates in order to get the rest he needs to ensure a complete recovery."

Footage posted on YouTube that was purportedly taken at the make-up performance in Berlin shows Usher standing silently at the microphone seemingly unable to sing, with fans booing him at first and then chanting, "Usher, Usher," as he approaches the microphone and apologizes to them for his struggles. "I appreciate your support," he told the fans wearily.

"I have been very excited about my European Tour and I deeply regret having to reschedule the shows," the singer said in the new statement. "I am truly sorry for any inconvenience I have caused my fans. My fans are the best in the world and I am looking forward to getting better so that I can give them the show they deserve."

Usher wrapped up the North American leg of his tour in December and his overseas dates are slated to last through the spring.
