Werewolves are so hot right now. Ha! We'll be here all week, folks! Anyway, so yeah, werewolves. They're everywhere! From "True Blood" to "The Vampire Diaries," they're having a moment, no doubt, so what better time to launch a new show all about the hirsute horrors? MTV's upcoming series, "Teen Wolf," a remake of the classic 1985 flick, premieres early next year, but the series' stars say you shouldn't confuse their redo with its inspiration.
"We're definitely doing our own thing," star Tyler Posey told MTV News while on the white carpet at Sunday's VMAs. "We are doing a remake of 'Teen Wolf,' but it's almost nothing like the original movie. We've got our own thing going on."
But just because they're breaking new ground, it doesn't mean they won't keep the original in the back of their minds. "The shoes of Michael J. Fox are so big to fill, it's just he did his own thing," Tyler said.
Co-star Tyler Hoechlin said he's more excited than nervous to begin production. "We're excited to get going. [Creator] Jeff [Davis]'s been doing a great job setting it up for us, so we just have to go have fun."
Will you be tuning in to "Teen Wolf"?
