This is not acceptable under any circumstances, and to be fair to the readers I suggest you quit reading right now, cancel your MTV, and pretend the internet doesn't exist for the next two years until this horrible, horrible tragedy is removed from our collective unconscious. MTV, the channel you may remember for bringing you music videos for much of your childhood only to now solely serve to encourage girls to be like Satan's spawns on The Hills (as well as offering plenty of other unwatchable reality tv shows), is now going to remake Teen Wolf ........ as a tv show.
A reinvention of the classic ‘80s movie for today’s MTV audience, this show will draw from the horror genre to explore werewolf mythology, and include a sweeping romantic saga at the center.
“Teen Wolf” is written by Jeff Davis (creator and executive producer of “Criminal Minds”).
And since there's a lot of Alice In Wonderland news floating around lately, let's go further down the rabbit hole. And believe me, this is a scary trip.
Attached to Executive Produce is Rene Echevarria from Castle who has been a writer and producer for The 4400, a few Star Treks and Dark Angel. We're excited about this one, but not so much the other two. Marty Adelstein, who did credible work on Prison Break, should not be let off the hook for his work on Made of Honor. And the series writer, Jeff Davis, has only worked thus far on Criminal Minds. But Davis did pen the Voltron movie, so there's hope for some nerd cred within this new crew.
Wow. So is this going to be like a really intense action drama? Or is it going to be like Made of Honor? How can anyone be excited about this. If you don't think you are getting a mashup of Teen Wolf and Twilight you are crazy. I am also going to guess the mashup equation is about 80% Twilight with 20% Teen Wolf.
And just so you don't go around thinking that this is the only national disaster on MTV's upcoming project list, how you like these apples?
(Jamie) Foxx, whose onscreen career launched with the 1990s Fox hit "In Living Color," will aim to deliver a 21st-century descendant of that program with an untitled sketch comedy show, working with partners Marcus King and Jaime Rucker King as well as exec producers Fax Bahr and Adam Small.
The cabler also commissioned a pilot for an untitled reality show featuring Audrina Patridge ("The Hills")
And you thought I was kidding about cancelling MTV. Let's just say Suze Orman's next money making tip should be to sell MTV stock. And just so you feel better at the end of the post here's the awesome intro from one of the remaining perfectly acceptable forms of adaptation, the animated series.
