MTV's reinvention of the 1980s movie Teen Wolf is moving forward, says The Hollywood Reporter . The 1985 film starred Michael J. Fox as a teenager who discovers he is a werewolf. The MTV version will be set in high school, draw from the horror genre to explore werewolf mythology and include a romantic plot line.

"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."

The new "Wolf" was written by "Criminal Minds" creator Jeff Davis, who
executive produces the pilot with Marty Adelstein (Fox's "Prison
Break") and Rene Echevarria (ABC's "Castle").

This is a ridiculous idea. Teen Wolf should be left alone, but as we all know, everything and it's mother is getting a reboot these days and this is not an exception. IS NOTHING SACRED?!?! Can't Michael J. Fox and Jason Bateman be left to their hairy high school adventures by themselves?!

Plus it just reminds me of how hilarious this is:
