Shiloh Fernandez (Deadgirl) has been cast as Amanda Seyfried’s (Chloe) love interest in Warner Bros’ The Girl with the Red Riding Hood, a romantic re-imaging of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood.”

Fernandez will play a young, orphaned woodcutter named Peter who strikes up a romance with Seyfried in a small medieval village that is under attack by a werewolf.

Fernandez reportedly auditioned for the part seven times before finally nailing the gig. No word yet on whether his character is the fim’s lycan.

The Girl with the Red Riding Hood is produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, written by David Johnson (Orphan), and directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight).
