Amanda Seyfried Premieres "Red Riding Hood"

With her new movie set to hit theaters in just a few short days, Amanda Seyfried was busy premiering "Red Riding Hood" in Hollywood, California on Monday evening (March 7).

The 25-year-old actress confidently strutted her stuff on the red carpet at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre venue while hoping for big box office numbers when the fantasy/horror flick sees release on Friday, March 11th.

Joining Miss Seyfried at the glitzy west coast premiere were co-stars Shiloh Fernandez and Virigina Madsen, "Twilight" actress Nikki Reed and director Catherine Hardwicke -who had nothing but praise for her leading lady.

Talking to SheKnows about working with Amanda, Catherine dished, "She’s charming, she’s sexy. What can’t she do [laughs]? For me, I felt like we had a pretty aggressive schedule. She’s in almost every scene. I’d say, 'Amanda, we have two minutes.' She was always ready. She focuses in that exact moment. She’s right there. You feel what she’s feeling. You feel for her. She’s got 'it.' She allows herself to be a child and to play. She’s a professional. Thinking of Julie and her, they both never complain no matter how drastic the situation is. She’s not a diva in any way, shape or form. I hope she can keep that beautiful side."

As for the movie, "Red Riding Hood" is "set in a medieval village that is haunted by a werewolf, during which a young girl falls for an orphaned woodcutter, much to her family's displeasure."

Enjoy the pictures from the premiere of "Red Riding Hood" in Los Angeles (March 7).

'Apollo 18' Trailer Premieres Online

Everybody knows that man last set foot on the moon in 1972. The brand-new trailer for "Apollo 18," which premiered Friday on Apple.com, asks the question: "Why haven't we been back?"

From director Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego and producer Timur Bekmambetov, the trailer for "Apollo 18" mixes what appears to be archival footage of early space shuttle launches with "Paranormal Activity" -style "found footage" of a secret 1973 mission to the lunar surface, supposedly kept hidden from the public because of what the astronauts discovered.

"In the years following [Apollo 17] there was unconfirmed intelligence of an 18th mission," the trailer reads. "No evidence has ever been found. Until now."

Although not made explicit, the "Cloverfield" -style flick showcases several alarming incidents in its trailer, including a number of shots where it's clear the astronauts are not alone on the seemingly barren and deserted satellite. One particularly jarring shot shows one of the astronauts infected to the point of possession; another shows several non-human footprints in the gray lunar dust.

Conspiracy theories aside, and depending on your perspective, there actually was an Apollo 18 mission. Launched in 1975, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project was a joint mission between US and Russian forces, officially and symbolically ending the great space race of the preceding decade.

The alternate history story is the English language debut of Spanish auteur Lopez-Gallego. Released by Dimension Films, "Apollo 18" will hit theaters April 22.

Kanye West's 'All Of The Lights' Video Premieres

Kanye West surprised fans by releasing his video for "All of the Lights" from his platinum-selling album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Instead of extensive pre-promotion and hype, the video was announced only about an hour or so before it was set to debut Saturday (February 19).

The clip is directed by Hype Williams and features appearances from Rihanna and Kid Cudi. Williams is a favorite of West's; the filmmaker has directed a number of the Chicago rapper's videos, including "Stronger," "Can't Tell Me Nothing," "Amazing" and their first collabo "Diamonds From Sierra Leone."

The video begins in black-and-white with the camera following a young girl who is presumably heading out to school. After about a minute, a brightly lit graphic montage of the song's lyrics and names of the video's participants begin flashing across the screen. This portion of the video is an homage to the opening credits of Gaspar Noé's 2009 French film "Enter the Void."

Kanye West isn't seen in the video until about the two-minute mark. Yeezy is extra animated while reciting his lyrics (at one point he is standing on top of a police car) as is Kid Cudi when he performs the song's bridge. Rihanna's presence in the video will probably be especially appreciated by the fellas since she is wearing a revealing top as she seductively peers into the camera.

The video's release may add credence to rumors that Kanye will join Rihanna during halftime of the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night to perform the new single.

While the video for "All of the Lights" has arrived, it leaves many asking about the fate of the visual for "Monster." Although a rough cut of the "Monster" video leaked at the end of 2010, there is no word of when and if a finished version will ever be released.
