Warner Brothers Throws A Little ‘Teen Wolf’ Action Into The Remake Pile

Teen Wolf

Moviehole is reporting that Warner Brothers is dusting off the rights that they purchased a few years back to Teen Wolf, and prepping it for a shiny modern-day makeover.

When it comes to pure, glorious ’80s fare, Teen Wolf has to be pretty close to the top of the list. It had all of the great cliches and styles; all of the unbearably excellent music tracks; and it even had one of those classic feel-good victory endings. Sadly, this also means that Teen Wolf was 100% destined for a remake.

The movie follows Scott Howard (Michael J. Fox), a nobody high school student and mediocre basketball player. One day Scott realizes that he and his family are not quite like everyone else when he turns into a werewolf. At first he naturally wants to keep this a secret, but when the secret is out, he surprisingly becomes the most popular kid at school and a basketball star. There was also a sequel called Teen Wolf Too with Jason Bateman (before the comic talent was realized) as a boxing werewolf!

This project is in the early development stages, so no word on any writers, directors, or actors. It appears, however, that I am not the only one who immediately assumed this project had teen high school vet Zac Efron written all over it. Hopefully he’s smart enough to decline it, and hopefully the studio is smart enough to maybe go a little darker with this reboot. One thing is for sure: they better not have a character named Boof.

Am I the only one who was absolutely terrified of this movie when I was a kid?
