I still need to see the Zooey Deschanel-as-Alice Syfy movie, but I do like the idea of the broader project of remaking fairy tales. But given my increasing admiration for Felicia Day, I am pretty charmed by the idea of her playing a modern-day Red Riding Hood. Anything that can simultaneously update an old fairy tale and reinvigorate a modern genre in one fell swoop intrigues me. I suppose maybe I should feel equally excited about the Catherine Hardwick-Amanda Seyfried period Little Red Riding Hood adaptation, which io9 seems pretty sure is going to be all kinds of violent and sexy. Perhaps it'll be great. But I'm kind of feeling the paranormal postmodern of the Syfy project, in the same way I'm excited about Vamps. Maybe I'm just hungering for something about women in my age range that isn't a post-college-anxiety or biological-clock-anxiety or I'm-going-to-die-alone movie, and these movies with tough female heroines and contemporary problems fit the bill. Oh, and werewolves. I like those too.
