Two Werewolf Shows which were supposedly In Development
Fox must have a thing for werewolves... below are two shows that were being developed by Fox in the last couple years. I really don't know if they're still in development or have been dropped, but it'd be fun if they did make an appearance on tv :)
Sex in the City with Werewolves
Bitches coming to Fox
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Maybe both.
In a sure sign of the apocalypse, Fox has signed a new dramedy by X2/Superman Returns scribe Michael Dougherty. It's about four women who live in New York City and turn into werewolves at a certain time of the month. Yes, it's really called Bitches. Can Fox get that one past the censors?
Okay, I get the analogy. The main characters will probably be successful businesswomen and therefore "bitches". The transformation into werewolves with every full moon could be a take on menstruation (an analogy that's been used before in fantasy literature). Will a fantasy series on Fox do better in the ratings than the much-loved-but-quickly-canceled science-fiction series of years past (and present)?
More than anything, it's the name that really gets me. It's such a cheap ploy. If Bitches can get through as a title, why not other profanities? Perhaps Fox can broadcast that film briefly mentioned in the movie Idiocracy called Ass.
Howl
Fox hunting werewolves
Net is developing 'Howl' for DreamWorks TV
By MARC GRASER, MICHAEL SCHNEIDER:
Never mind vampires -- the Fox network is looking to get back into the werewolf business, developing "Howl," from DreamWorks TV.
Project is being written by Joshua Miller and M.A. Fortin. DreamWorks TV toppers Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank would exec produce.
"Howl" is described as an epic family saga about warring families of werewolves in a small Alaskan town.
"Alaska is a place where people disappear and now you know why," Miller said.
The script reflects the changes that are going on in the country, and "metamorphosis and constant change is the basis of werewolf mythology," he added. "Howl" is about "the psychology of living with change."
One of the Fox network's first series, 1987's "Werewolf," also revolved around the mythic creatures. More recently, CBS aired the short-lived "Wolf Lake," while MTV is currently developing a new take on the 1980s movie "Teen Wolf."
