Mtv 'moving ahead with teen wolf' mtv跟进teen wolf电视剧的拍

A TV series based on the 1980s' film Teen Wolf is one step closer to fruition after MTV ordered a pilot, reports from the US have said.

美国报道称，在1980年的电影Teen Wolf基础上改编的电视系列片即将开拍。

Michael J Fox starred in the original 1985 film

The Hollywood Reporter said the channel was keen on the show after seeing a script（手稿） written by Criminal Minds creator Jeff Davis.

The 1985 movie starred Michael J Fox as a teenager who discovers he is a werewolf（狼人）.

MTV said the pilot would be "very different" from the original film.

Set in a high school, the show will be drawn from the horror genre（类，型） to explore werewolf mythology（神话） and will also include a romantic plot line.

"It has a fresh take," said Liz Gateley, senior vice president of 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 centre who provide a great comedy element: They are two very relatable characters on the outer circles of popular cliques（小集团）."

It is the latest in a line of 1980s' films being remade for the small screen.

A series based on Steve Martin's 1989 comedy Parenthood is due to air in the US later this year.

Shows re-working Brat Pack film St Elmo's Fire and black comedy Heathers are also in development.
