Tyler Posey, Tyler Hoechlin, Crystal Reed and Dylan O'Brien have been cast in the pilot of MTV's TV remake of Teen Wolf, according to The Hollywood Reporter .
MTV's take on the film, which starred Michael J Fox as a high-school student who discovers he’s a werewolf, is a dramatic thriller with a buddy-comedy element at the center and a romantic plot line. The pilot has been written by penned by "Criminal Minds" creator Jeff Davis. Tyler Posey plays Scott McCall, a dorky high-school student who discovers that his excessive hair growth is due to more than just teenage hormones.
O'Brien will play Scott's best friend, Reed will play a new girl at school who is immediately smitten with Scott (which will probably last until the first moping vampire turns up on the scene), while Hoechlin will play a local boy who is also a vicious and predatory werewolf.
