Teen Wolf and Heathers to TV

So it looks like TV is turning to the good films of the 80's for inspiration.

First off, MTV is currently working on shooting a pilot for Teen Wolf. The classic Michael J. Fox movie will be re-created into a weekly series.

Sony Studios is also working on developing one of my favorite movies of all time, Heathers, into a new weekly. This one kind of breaks my heart more because Heathers is kind of in that untouchable arena for me. It just captured that age so well and was a really good and kind of campy teen-angst/coming of age film. Ok, less coming of age, but still awesome. Plus that was some Winona Ryder and Christian Slater at their primes. That's gonna be hard to re-cast.

Who knows the theme of Heathers was revolting against youth clicks, easily manipulated ideals and teen revolt, and that could be restructured to fit today's times. I hate to be the old curmudgeon talking about how everything used to be better, but in this case, I think everything is better left alone...
