"Yesterday, MTV announced that it was developing a reinvention of one of the most beloved franchises of the 1980s. No, not Raiders of the Lost Ark. Not Friday the 13th. Not even RoboCop. Theyre reinventing Teen Wolf.
Look, I get that werewolves are hot right now thanks to Taylor Lautner and Twilight. And it only makes sense that with our current obsession with vampires (from Robert Pattinsons soulful, sparkly, dreamy-eyed Edward Cullen stares to True Bloods neck-biting orgies), werewolves would logically become the next big marketing opportunity. But really? Teen Wolf?!
For those of you too young to remember, Michael J. Foxs 1985 original was actually a really fun film. Cheesy and stupid, sure, but fun. And Fox, hot off of the double-whammy of Family Ties and Back to the Future, sold the whole awkward doofus-transforms-into-hairy-BMOC conceit like a pro. Actually, Id even go so far as to say that Teen Wolf is the Citizen Kane of lycanthropic puberty flicks."
