Move, over,Twilight— it looks like werewolves are the new dominant monster in town. MTV Entertainment Studios has announced thatJeff Davis, creator of the hitTeen WolfTV series (based on theMichael J. Foxfilm of the same name), is returning to the studio as part of a multi-year deal that includes a brand newTeen Wolfmovie.
According to MTV, Davis will return to write and executive produce the untitled film, for which the original series cast is already in talks to return for. The film is set to center around Scott McCall (originally played byTyler Posey), no longer a teenager but still an Alpha werewolf, as he gathers new allies and reunites with trusted friends to battle a new, despicable evil that rears its head in his home of Beacon Hills on the night of a full moon.
