It’s still stupefying to me that this “Teen Wolf” show is really happening. I can’t tell if people are outraged b it or not, but since it’ll be airing on MTV, I think it’s a safe bet that it’ll be aiming at the lowest-common denominator.
The director of the pilot is movie and music video vet Russell Mulcahy, who spoke to the Den of Geek about his “vision” for the lycanthrope-in-love series:
“Obviously it’s inspired by it, but the new MTV Teen Wolf takes out a totally different slant, taking more of the slant of The Lost Boys, so to speak. It still has humour, but it’s basically got horror and humour. The humour is in the characters and the real situations and the teenagers, it’s very real and not played for any obvious laughs – they come from the situation.”
I for one could not care less about TEEN WOLF, t.v. show or otherwise. Yes, I watched it as a kid, but c’mon, it’s not like this is up there with beloved 80s classics like THE GOONIES or BACK TO THE FUTURE. It’s a pretty dumb flick when you get right down to it. Just one schlub’s opinion, of course – but let’s say I’ve got better things to get worked up about. Like a pussified HOWLING reboot.
