Shiloh Fernandez cast in Red Riding Hood

Shiloh Fernandez has been cast as the leading man to star alongside Mamma Mia! 's Amanda Seyfried in Girl With The Red Riding Hood .

Although having small roles in films such as Cadillac Records and Gardens of the Night , the young actor is better known overseas for his range in TV roles.

Playing the role of Peter – an orphaned woodcutter who Seyfried’s character falls in love with – the role is a chance for the film’s director Catherine Hardwicke to give Fernandez the big break he was hoping for when he originally tried out for the role of Edward in Twilight .

The film is said to be a gothic take on the Brothers Grimm classic of Red Riding Hood, and with Hardwicke at the helm it promises to be interesting.

And with the casting of Robert Pattinson look-a-like, we wonder – is S-Fedz the new R-Patz? Let us know!
