Amanda Seyfried talks Hardwicke’s eye for chemistry, mentions Kristen & Rob

Director Catherine Hardwicke made Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner household names when she cast the trio of young actors in “Twilight” in 2008. Now she hopes to work her same star-making magic with “Red Riding Hood.”

Though Seyfried has appeared in more than a dozen films, Irons and Fernandez have just a handful of acting credits each. The 25-year-old actress says Hardwicke has “an eye for casting and she has an eye for chemistry.”

“When she sees two people connect, she becomes your biggest fan she wants to take that and make that into something beautiful,” Seyfried says. “I think she saw that with Rob (Pattinson) and Kristen (Stewart) and she has been very vocal about that. When she first saw Shiloh (Fernandez) and me do our chemistry read, she saw something and I saw something.”
