Summit announced today the release date for “Gone”, starring Amanda Seyfried, Jennifer Carpenter and Sebastian Stan. It will be release in February 24, 2012.

Directed by Heitor Dhalia, Gone centres on a young woman (Seyfried) who returns home from her night shift to find her sister’s bed empty. She is convinced that the serial killer who kidnapped her two years before has come back to finish the job but when the police do not believe her and with no one to turn to, the woman sets off to find her sister and face her abductor once and for all.

Since Amanda has been doing promotion for Red Riding Hood, we have a new interview of her with Extra! Check it out:

Actress Amanda Seyfried opened up to “Extra” about her new film — the spooky version of the children’s story of “Red Riding Hood,” directed by “Twilight’s” Catherine Hardwicke. The 24-year-old said she enjoyed working on the film, although staring at a piece of wood, which was supposed to be the bloodcurdling CGI wolf, proved to be difficult. “I had to trick my body into anxiety,” she admitted.

Working with Hardwicke was a wonderful experience for Seyfried, who said of her director, “She’s magical and passionate and energized beyond belief.”

Amanda recalled she wasn’t allowed to wear the red cloak outside the set because of the always-present paparazzi. The actress revealed, “The paparazzi, they don’t really encroach on my personal life. They catch me doing mundane things… going to the gym, dropping my dog off, getting a facial… I just smile because they hate that.”

Entertainment Tonight has a new interview with Amanda! Check it out:

What big eyes you have. What big teeth you have! Amanda Seyfried comes face to face with a big bad werewolf in ‘Red Riding Hood,’ in theaters March 11, and the 25-year-old star calls the film “inspiring,” “haunted,” “dark” and “kind of weird.”

“She’s a heroine in a very, very, very old, classic story, and so to take that on is a responsibility, but it’s also super fun,” Amanda says of her medieval character. “It’s more interesting to play very intrigued and kind of terrified at the same time – it gives a lot of cool angles to each scene you wouldn’t normally see.”

‘Twilight’ director Catherine Hardwicke gives the classic fairytale a horror-movie twist with Amanda as Valerie, a beautiful young girl living in a village that hides a terrifying secret: A werewolf prowls the surrounding forest, and the townsfolk maintain an uneasy truce by providing a monthly animal sacrifice.

When the beast takes a human life, the townsfolk recruit famed werewolf hunter Father Solomon (Gary Oldman) to help them kill it. As the death toll rises, Solomon declares that one of the villagers must be the wolf. Torn between a brooding outsider (Shiloh Fernandez) and her arranged suitor (Max Irons), Valerie discovers that she has a unique connection to the beast, making her both suspect…and bait.

“Being able to hear an animal speak is beyond imagination,” says Amanda. “When the wolf speaks to [Valerie] for the first time, she’s shocked beyond belief and is trying to make sense of it, — but also is so terrified because it’s communicating in a way where she’s understanding that this wolf knows her.”

As for working with ‘Twilight’ director Hardwicke, Amanda beams, “She’s really passionate. I don’t know where she gets her energy, but she knows everything inside and out. She’s so thorough.”

Amanda is HOT right now and she is set to star in another film by Summit Entertainment. This one sound really interested, it’s a thriller named Gone. Here is more info about the movie.

Another new project has been unveiled at the European Film Market in Berlin: Amanda Seyfried thriller Gone, from Summit Entertainment, Lakeshore Entertainment and Sidney Kimmel.

Summit has scooped up domestic distribution to the project. Lakeshore and Nick Meyer’s Sierra Pictures/Affinity will now begin selling the project to foreign buyers in Berlin. Buzzed-about Brazilian filmmaker Heitor Dhalia begins lensing Gone in April from a script by Allison Burnett. Hollywood has been wanting to get into business with Dhalia, who makes his English-language debut with Gone.

The thriller revolves around a young woman named Jill (Seyfried) who returns home from her night shift to find her sister’s bed empty. She’s convinced the serial killer who kidnapped her two years before has come back to finish the job. But the police do not believe Jill, who knows time is running out. With no one to turn to, she sets off to find her sister and face her abductor once and for all.

Lakeshore’s Tom Rosenberg and Gary Lucchesi are producing the thriller alongside Sidney Kimmel, Chris Salvaterra and Dan Abrams. Gone reunites Seyfried and Summit for the third time after Dear John and Letters to Juliet.

“We are very excited to be distributing this film and working once again with both Lakeshore and Amanda,” said Summit co-chair Rob Friedman, adding it is the first time the company has partnered with Sidney Kimmel.

Rosenberg said Seyfried is the “perfect actress to play the smart and fearless heroine in Gone.” Seyfried is next in theaters in Catherine Hardwicke’s Red Riding Hood, which opens March 11, followed by Andrew Niccol’s Now in October. Seyfried is repped by Innovative Artists. Dhalia is repped by WME, and Burnett, the Gersh Agency.
