Red Riding Hood the Movie!
Leonardo Dicaprio recommended the movie in this idea, "Wouldn’t it be cool to do a Gothic twist on Red Riding Hood, with the wolf being a werewolf, and just have a cool, sexy romantic thriller?"
There is just one problem, Red Riding Hood is already Gothic. It was a story told in bars in the Gothic lands of Germany to the brothers Grimm. So its all Gothed up and ready to go without needing to mention a werewolf. Though that is a cool idea.

False Voices and Concerts bring thousands
The video explains the making of this vocalist who does not exist. Much of my time while writing about things for this blog, I find myself with the words, "This is not a joke," and they tempt me once again. This entire thing is so surreal that believing it exists makes my mind go mad.
The program of Vocaloid can be found here, and yes, you can make the girl sing in it. The original program to make the voice is not for sale though.
It gets weirder. The singer has concerts.
Your eyes are not deceiving you. That is thousands of people dancing to a holographic made up character. The voices are not real, the character is a hologram, and it is topping the charts in Japan.
