Welling Wolf?

Theaters aren’t exactly overgrown with werewolf movies (decent or otherwise) these days, and this isn’t likely to make lycanthrope fans any happier…

Apparently a remake of the 80s “classic” TEEN WOLF is in the works, and Dark Horizons says SMALLVILLE’s beefy Boy of Steel Tom Welling will have a part in the flick. But what’s even more curious than Welling getting more movie parts after the tragic remake of THE FOG is that he’s reportedly not the hirsute moon-howler — word is this new TEEN WOLF is… a wolfette. We can only assume she’ll play hoops, or at least cheerlead for the basketball team. Welling will probably play some sort of dreamy hunk, speculation mine.

For those who missed or conveniently forgot the more embarrassing chunks of the 80s, the TEEN WOLF “franchise” featured Michael J. Fox and Jason Bateman as students cursed with excess hair and a friend named Chubby (he was obese, y’see).
