Fairy gone scary

Maybe it's because Twilight is such a hit.

Hollywood is suddenly turning dark and gloomy. Even fairy tales are given the "dark" treatment of late.

Exhibit A: Red Riding Hood


Our favorite fairy tale with the cross dressing wolf and the subject of many cartoons is now a dark movie with Amanda Seyfried. I've seen the trailer and it does look a bit like a horror flick.

Exhibit B: Snow White

There are 3 simultaneous Snow White projects, and none of them seem to be fun and colorful. So, don't expect any chirping bluebirds and good mannered dwarves who "hi-ho, hi-ho" on their way to work.

In one of the versions, Julia Roberts is supposed to have signed up as the evil Stepmother.



And what's the plot of the story?

Snow White and the huntsman are hunting for the evil stepmother to avenge her father's death.

Scary...
