Seyfried: 'Hood is not like Twilight'

Amanda Seyfried has revealed that she is saddened by the comparisons between Red Riding Hood and Twilight.

Seyfried, who plays Valerie in Red Riding Hood, spoke to MTV News about the film, which is helmed by Catherine Hardwicke. Hardwicke also directed Twilight, inviting comparisons between the two movies.

"It's a bummer that that's what's happening," Seyfried said. "Yeah, I mean Red Riding Hood does surround a girl coming of age in a love triangle [like Twilight], but that's a lot of movies."

Seyfried confessed that she hopes that audiences will give Red Riding Hood a chance before writing it off as a clone of Twilight.

"The truth is, it's an entirely different story," she added. "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."

Red Riding Hood is currently playing in US cinemas, and will be released in the UK on April 15.
