TRAILER: MTV's Teen Wolf Looks Nothing Like Teen Wolf
It's unofficially Teen Wolf Week here at Movieline -- find out later whether or not the Michael J. Fox classic made it into the Final Four in our inaugural basketball movie tournament -- and what better way to celebrate than with a lengthy look at the MTV reboot of the brand. Or, maybe not.
Egad. What hath Twilight wrought? As everyone learned when the teaser trailer for Teen Wolf debuted last year, the MTV version owes much to Jacob, Edward and the town of Forks. Unfortunately, thanks to acting that would be considered bad in high school drama club (not to mention the faux-reality dialogue that makes Skins so incredibly unwatchable), Teen Wolf possesses none of the charms of Twilight -- even in a junky, Bad Movies We Love sort of way. If any Hollywood executives are planning to reboot Teen Wolf for the big screen, please watch the trailer below to learn what not to do. Replacing basketball with lacrosse? SFX: Raspberry.
VERDICT: Would rather watch Teen Wolf Too.

i enjoy the twilight series for what it is... a cheesy horror franchise that never would have come about if it weerent for BUFFY. Unfortunately the writers and the actors are not in the same league as BUFFY. this looks to be the same situation for the new teen wolf. the real problem is that these projects are being geared towards young teenage girls. young teenage girls arent that concerned with acting or good effects. they are concerned with half naked young men and romance. thats why, with the exception of SUPERNATURAL, the CW sucks. oh yeah,i forgot bad reality tv hosted by retarded ex models with no discernable ability other then to be a shallow bitch who can walk back and forth on an elevated stage. talk about talent. wow.
Yeah no wonder there's pregnant teenage girls. As if the world isn't over-populated enough.
This show is nothing but a beauty pageant. An excuse for Abercrombie type guys to strut around sans shirts, thus making horny teenage girls even hornier, hence getting pregnant at an early age. It's sad that girls eat that shit up.
Crystal Reed should get out of this show and focus on a more substantial part or role, coz she's the only one in the show who has actual promise in the acting department. It's a good thing too she broke up with Daniel Sharman, coz one look at that guy, you know he plays for the other team. Sorry if that offends anyone.
No Boof = no watch.
wow they really murdered michael j fox's teenwolf
That's a ridiculous assessment of a three minute trailer. yeah, it has nothing to do with the original Teen Wolf, which it shouldn't. That was 26 years ago. Maybe you should actually watch an episode or two. And, yes, it is geared to a younger audience, thus the MTV network.
Not the old "Teen Wolf," it's BETTER! Reminds me of the series The Gates." And lacrosse is way better than basketball.
The lead actor's character should be called Harry Palms.
Man, that was horrible. I agree, hearing that girls say her name was Alison instead of Boof was the lowlight of the whole thing.
What are you looking at, Dicknose?
jez.. wasn't teen wolf supposted to be a comedy and veiled reference to puberty, it looks like they got the whole veiled reference part right but .. part of teen wolfs charm was it was a goofy 80s comedy.. why does everything have to be "twilighted" these days .. They'd be better off just to change the name and not even go for the "gritty reboot" approach... This will fail like every other twiclone out there
Looks awesome! "And I'm pretty much convinced that I'm totally out of my freaking mind!" Exactly.
I actually hated the original Teenwolf. This (to me) actually looks somewhat promising.
Reading these comments now is hilarious, now that Teen Wolf has been greenlighted for a 24-episode season three.
I know, right? I love TEEN WOLF! and the actors and actresses can actually act!
Haters gonna hate
