This is all pure speculation so don’t really take any of the following too seriously, but in a recent interview with MTV, Amanda Seyfried revealed who the top pick for the pivotal role of the werewolf in Catherine Hardwicke‘s forthcoming Red Riding Hood is.
She mentioned that she didn’t really want to give it away but the initials were ‘VC”. Now, unless she’s talking about the fictional Vinny Chase from Entourage; it’s safe to guess that she is in fact referring to French character actor Vincent Cassel.
This would be an excellent choice seeing as how Cassel can steal scenes in films from his native homeland (La haine, Irreversible) as well as North American films (Ocean’s Twelve, Eastern Promises). He would be joining a cast that includes the aforementioned Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Julie Christie, Max Irons and Shiloh Fernandez.
Can you think of any other actors with the initial “VC” that could play the role of a werewolf?
