This supernatural teen drama trend just isn’t going away, is it? Some days it seems like every other new film or series in the works is about blandly attractive young people struggling to deal with scary/sexy monsters while keeping up with their algebra homework.
One such show is MTV’s upcoming series Teen Wolf, a supposed remake of the 1980s comedy starring Michael J. Fox. A new trailer has been released, and… nope, I’m still not sure what makes this a remake. Watch it after the jump.
Entertainment Weekly quotes executive producer Jeff Davis describing the new series as “kind of like The Lost Boys with kind of the pace and fun of Buffy.” I, for one, am getting more of a “Twilight for boys” vibe. Less angst, yes, but same blue-gray tones, same shots of half-naked teenage boys running around the woods — star Tyler Poseyeven looks like he could be part of Jacob Black’s wolf pack. Instead of a stereotypical teen girl fantasy (i.e., pretty boys fighting to save you), we’ve got a stereotypical adolescent boy fantasy (i.e., pretty girls throwing themselves at you).
Of course, those are pretty superficial comparisons. It’s possible that MTV’s just playing up the Twilight-ishness in order to draw people in. I’m more disappointed that I’m also not really seeing a lot of the “comedy element” that MTV has promised in the past — or that made the original Teen Wolf so fun. I think the new Teen Wolf looks like it could be fun for what it is, if not exactly original, but it just confuses me to have the purported Teen Wolf connection hanging over it.
