First Buffy, now Teen Wolf

Teen Wolf is the latest of supernatural movies becoming TV shows. This one will be different of course, more serious, less comedy:
MTV has assembled the acting pack for "Teen Wolf," its reinvention of the 1985 movie.

Tyler Posey, Tyler Hoechlin, Crystal Reed and Dylan O'Brien have been cast in the pilot presentation penned by "Criminal Minds" creator Jeff Davis.

MTV's take on the film, which starred Michael J. Fox as a high-school student who discovers he is a werewolf, is a dramatic thriller with a buddy-comedy element at the center and a romantic plot line. It revolves around Scott McCall (Posey), a dorky high-school student who gets a rush of new powers, including the ability to attract girls, after a wolf attack.

I'm not sure about this one, but who knows. Today's tweens and teens are 10x as gullible than we were so this could be a hit.

But I will say, I loved the cartoon version.

I agree with ToddyEnglish. Cast Taylor and all will be fine.

Well, if it's MTV, their has to be some hotness factor in the cast. (ie Real World, Spy Games, etc)
