An MTV Teen Wolf Series?

According to reports, MTV is looking to make a series out of the 80’s movie ‘Teen Wolf’. The show is closer to reality with a pilot presentation order. MTV announced the project in January and after seeing the script, MTV has picked it up to presentation. The 1985 film starred Michael J. Fox as a teenager who discovers he is a werewolf. The MTV version will also be set in high school, and will draw from the horror genre to explore werewolf mythology and include a romantic plot line. Liz Gateley, Senior VP for MTV series development had the following to say on the project…

“It has a fresh take and is very different from the original. It has more of an ‘American Werewolf in Paris’ feel to it. It’s a dramatic thriller with two best friends in the center who provide a great comedy element: They are two very relatable characters on the outer circles of popular cliques.”
