Hollywood Reporter reports the cable network has officially ordered a pilot written by Jeff Davis, who will executive produce with Marty Adelstein ("Prison Break") and Rene Echevarria ("Castle").
The 1985 film starred Michael J. Fox as a teenager who discovers he is a werewolf. The new version will be set in high school (of course), it will draw from the horror genre to explore werewolf mythology and include a romantic plot line. No this is not the CW Network but this could become as big as Buffy's series!
"It has a fresh take and is very different from the original," said Liz Gateley, senior vp MTV series development. "It has more of an 'American Werewolf in Paris' feel to it. It's a dramatic thriller with two best friends in the center who provide a great comedy element: They are two very relatable characters on the outer circles of popular cliques."
