MTV Shooting Its TEEN WOLF Pilot!!

I am – Hercules!!


You wanted MTV to move away from reality? Then you’ll like this news.

MTV will shoot a “Teen Wolf” pilot presentation, hoping to remake the 24-year-old big-screen Michael J. Fox comedy into a weekly series.

“Criminal Minds” creator Jeff Davis is writing the pilot, a good sign.

MTV exec Liz Gateley suggests the TV version will be tonally reminiscent of "An American Werewolf in London," another good sign.

Now that 2015 is only six years away, somebody needs to get busy on a "Back To The Future" remake that will send Marty McFly all the way back to the year "Teen Wolf" was released.

Find all of The Hollywood Reporter’s story on the matter here.

    I believe he was making a joke, ie everything involving a supernatural character was "ripped" off from Buffy, since the Browncoats always seem to chime in on that. Maybe one day they will admit that Firefly was a Cowboy Bebop ripoff!

    by toughguyrizzo

    She's just kind of an icon. her villains dont compare to Supes' Lex or Batmans Joker. Look how long it took for an awesome Batman flick to get done. It's sad, but a WW movie (a good one) is a long shot.

    However, if they can make fuckin catwoman and daredevil, why the fuck not just make a WW movie. Based on icon factor alone, it would sell, especially if marketed right and had a decent woman playing Diana.

    This is shitty news but this will probably make Teen Wolf Too watchable. MTV shows nothing but scripted reality shows these days. I can't imagine how this will be any good. I remember two years ago they were going to remake Rocky Horror despite TONS of backlash from fans and it's creator. Wonder what happened with that.

    Criminal Minds repeats has been picked up by A&E. The same network that picked up the horrible CSI Miami.
    A&E is crap. MTV is crap. Criminal Minds is crap and this new Wolf abomination will be crap.
    But I bet we get a talkback about it everyweek. Because Herc loves crappy television.

    by red ned lynch

    I've always dreamed of seeing a quality Teen Wolf remake that makes full use of modern effects technology. In a series format there's the chance it will be arc driven and will show the kind of character growth we would have gotten with proper sequels to the original film. I do hope there is a cameo for Fox, something like Gary Busey in Silver Bullet. And Jason Batemen could be a grizzled werewolf hunter. Justine Batemen could be the gypsy who first sees the mark of the wolf in TeenWolf's palm. Jismey Crinkles, this and Bad Boys 3 and a Blobless Blob all in the same week! We truly live in a golden age.

    The same way. There have been like a million tv specials ( I saw it on vh1 last year) about fuck ups in movies that no one caught until after it had been out for years. I doubt anyone, male or female ,gay or straight, was looking around the whole movie for a random and dick and finaly got there wish in the next to last frame of the movie.

  • Looks like a woman to me:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fbo6yFqB_oYI'm guessing, it being the 80s, she was wearing very tight jeans which she undid to be able to sit in the stands for hours more comfortably. Then remembered, on standing, that she was flying low.
