Get howling mad: 'Teen Wolf' is set for a remake ... still (yes, really)
A remake of Teen Wolf, the hirsuite '80s franchise that starred Michael J. Fox in the original and Jason Bateman in the sequel, has been talked about for years, but it appears it's finally moving forward.
CinemaBlend.com reports that Warner Bros. "has finally decided to do something with the rights they picked up a few years ago, and they’re looking for writers to deliver a remake script."
Word has it that the success of the Twilight saga lit a fire under the studio, which now plans to make the Teen Wolf remake more somber than the original '80s flicks.
There's also still talk that the lead character were be a female werewolf this time around.

I have an idea, make a funny teenage werewolf movie, but call it something totally different and don't have any of the storylines from before.
