7. Read the text. What is the best title for
the reading text? Choose the best answer
A, B or C.
A. Little Red Riding Hood: The movie.
B. Actors in Hollywood and their favourite stories.
C. Fairy tales in Hollywood.
Little Red Riding Hood used to be just a story that parents would
read to their children at bedtime, but not anymore. Now Red
Riding Hood is a Hollywood blockbuster directed by Catherine
Hardwicke. Hardwicke directed Twilight, which made her the
obvious choice for another film so clearly aimed at the teenage
market.
Red Riding Hood isn’t the only film to go back to the classic fairy
tales and update them for today’s teenagers. Hansel and Gretel:
Witch Hunters, Jack the Giant Slayer and Snow White and the
Huntsman are so hoping they can persuade young people to
revisit the stories of their childhood. And then there’s Brothers
Grimm, starring Matt Damon and Health Ledger, which helps the
original authors of these fairy tales see some of their characters
come into reality. Hollywood, it seems, has realised that fairy
tales have the potential to make money, and lots of it.
Teenagers are one of Hollywood’s most important markets and
after the success of series like Harry Potter, Twilight and more
recently the Hunger Games, studios are looking for more
inspiration for stories to keep young people returning to the
cinema. Fairy tales might just be the answer. Many are already
quite dark, which makes them ideal for adolescents, who are
often fascinated by that side of life. Of course, you might not
recognise much of the original story, as extra horror, and
romance for the heroes and heroines, have been added to the
plots. But with modern-day special effects to bring it all to life,
does it really matter?
8. Read the text again. Find the correct
information and complete the statements
1-6. You may use your own words.
e.g.:
0 Little Red Riding Hood is a story which _____ (read/ their
children/ bed).
ð Little Red Riding Hood is a story which parents (would) read
to their children before bed.
1 Catherine Hardwicke is a director who _____ (direct/
Twilight).
2 Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters and some movies of the
same type are the stories which _____ (can persuade/
revisit/ childhood).
3 Brothers Grimm helps people who _____ (original author/
see/ in real life).
4 After success of some fairy tale movies, studios are looking

5 In fact, fairy tale movies that _____ (dark plots/ ideal) has
