TRAILER #1 FOR LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
Scene
Forest with trees fallen over covered in moss that look almost like giant spiders - obviously an old forest, undisturbed by loggers and such.
Narrator
In a time without legends
Scene
Show the people of a village wandering about their everyday duties and chores. Very basic and simple clothes, simple people, but busy with their lives. The forest is still seen behind them.
Narrator
A civilization without dreams
Scene
Still focus on the villagers, but add a significant glimpse of a wolf behind the trees looking in at the village.
Narrator
And a land without hope
Scene
Show Red’s family sitting down to dinner - Sarah, Red, and Rachel.
Narrator
One child was given the power to change the world
Scene
Music starts up: "Li'l Red Riding Hood" by Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs begins:
Owoooooooo!
Who's that I see walkin' in these woods?
Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood.
Hey there Little Red Riding Hood,
You sure are looking good.
You're everything a big bad wolf could want.
Listen to me.
Little Red Riding Hood
I don't think little big girls should
Go walking in these spooky old woods alone.
Owoooooooo!
[Songwords © Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs]
and the scenes rapidly flash on the screen during the verse ending promptly at the end of the word "alone".
Scenes that flash - Coven circling the tied form of a man - the woods with light skimming through - Red and Marcus (as man) fighting - peasants going about their everyday business - Gwen being killed but you can’t make out details except for the wolf’s claw going across their neck - the woods in almost complete darkness and then it goes black for the howl that comes after the verse.
From the darkness a cloak swishes around so it flows but you only see her back and a slight fog around her feet.
Sarah Griffith
Now, don’t stray from the path.
Scene
Black screen with the words Little Red Riding Hood emblazoned across it. In smaller print towards the bottom of the screen - "Coming soon to theatres near you".
