Tyler Hoechlin Lawsuit
Teen Wolf Tyler Hoechlin and roommate Ryan Guzman are suing in response to claims the pair did $9,689 worth of damage to their shared apartment before moving out. According to legal documents first reported by TMZ, the landlord deducted the money from the security deposit Hoechlin and Guzeman paid when they moved in. The money is apparently to cover “paint and other common move-out expenses” but the actor’s lawsuit claims nothing out of the ordinary happened to the home to warrant that much money and they’re suing to get it back.

According to TMZ, the company that manages the property stands by the hefty charges.

Saintgnue Trial Delay #3
Cody Saintgnue’s assault lawsuit against a casino/bar is OFF the docket once again in Las Vegas. Judge Michele Leavitt canceled next week’s scheduled pre-trial conference as well as the jury trial set for June 27. This marks the third time Leavitt scheduled and then canceled these proceedings. Saintgnue is suing over an incident from June 2014. The Teen Wolf actor claims he was celebrating his 21st birthday with his family and a few friends in Las Vegas when nightclub employees took him into custody and roughed him up. “I found myself in an unfortunate situation,” He said after filing the suit, “The 1 OAK nightclub in Vegas/The Mirage attempted to shake me down, and obtain more money for services not wanted or requested.”

Saintgnue's lawyer says club employees tried to pimp him out to a wealthy VIP and then beat him up when he refused to pay a bogus bill for a party. You can see portions of the attack Saintgnue suffered on surveillance video. Despite all the delays, there is some recent movement in the case. Judge Leavitt dismissed the Mirage Casino as a defendant in the suit. There had been talk of a settlement between Saintgnue and the casino, but details as to why Leavitt granted the motion to dismiss are not publicly available.

The nightclub (1OAK) and several of the employees seen manhandling the actor remain in the suit. As of this writing, Leavitt has yet to schedule a new trial date.

Deaton Waxes Philosophical
Seth Gilliam (Dr. Deaton) is beginning to wax philosophical about his time on Teen Wolf coming to an end. The actor is leading a somewhat charmed life when it comes to his career, managing to land recurring roles on four critically acclaimed, genre-defying, and hugely popular television shows. Having appeared on HBO’s OZ and The Wire as well as Teen Wolf and The Walking Dead, Gilliam has a unique perspective on what helps certain types of dramas succeed. He recently told The Buffalo News that it all comes down to finding the humanity in whichever part he is asked to play.


 * "The supernatural setting allows the humanity of the characters to shine through a little more. It is easier for audiences to relate to them because the circumstances are so extreme. On Teen Wolf, it's Scott putting himself in harm's way for his pack or Stiles, who doesn't have supernatural powers, putting himself in harm's way. On The Walking Dead, it was T-Dog sacrificing himself to protect Carol in the prison in Season 2 when he could have easily made it out on his own.”

Also, based on his past experiences, Gilliam says he expects Teen Wolf will still resonate for many years to come. “The Wire continues to resound. I'm sure The Walking Dead and Teen Wolf will have long shelf lives after they are off the air. To be a part of one would be fantastic, but to have three, and three very different shows, is really fortunate."

Posey Lands Horror Flick
A gruesome death may be in Tyler Posey’s future as he locks up his second major role after Teen Wolf. Posey is set to begin filming Truth or Dare next month. Blumhouse is producing this one. They previously brought us The Purge and Insidious movies suggesting TOD will be scary and more than a little bit gruesome. Posey new gig centers around a supernatural game of Truth or Dare that never stops. Lucy Hale gets top billing, which suggests Posey’s as yet unnamed character will likely get sacrificed to the game. Blumehouse movies are not always bloody, but, when they are, it’s a buckets-of-blood situation meaning Posey may die ugly in this one.

<p class="MsoNormal">Violett Beane, Nolan Gerard Funk, Hayden Szeto, and Sophia Taylor Ali round out the cast with Jeff Wadlow set to direct.

<p class="MsoNormal">Posey will also show off his comedic and romantic sides in the upcoming season of Jane the Virgin, which is expected to return to the CW this fall.

Holland Lands SyFy Series
<p class="MsoNormal">Holland Roden will return to TV on the SYFY Channel. The network announced that Roden will star in the third installment of their urban legend-inspired anthology series Channel Zero. The series brings what are known as “Creepypasta” stories to life over a handful of episodes each season. <p class="MsoNormal">If you’re unfamiliar with the phenomenon, about ten years ago many folks amused themselves on the internet by copying and pasting stories to message boards, email chains, and various other sites like 4Chan. The practice was dubbed “Copypasta” (Copy+Paste), which led to the scary or “creepy” entries of this type being called “Creepypasta.” They were, as all good urban legends are, presented as absolute truth and became quite popular.

<p class="MsoNormal">The fact that it took ten years for someone to make a TV show out of some of the most popular of these stories is the real mystery here.

<p class="MsoNormal">The first chapter featured Kris Straub’s internet-infamous Candle Cove story about a children’s television show that’s only half remembered by its now-adult “fans.”  Channel Zero will return this fall with their version of NoEnd House, a haunted house story by Brian Russell that began life on 4Chan.

<p class="MsoNormal">At this point we don’t know what Roden will be doing in the series but you can bet it will be unusual television. She’ll be joined by Brandon Scott and Olivia Luccardi. Channel Zero Season 3 is set to air in 2018.

Shelley Takes On Terrorists
<p class="MsoNormal">Shelley Hennig in Homeland Security? That’s apparently the premise of our resident werecoyote’s new TV gig. Liberty Crossing started filming earlier this month. It features Hennig and Teen Wolf Nazi/Hot Teacher Pete Ploszek.

<p class="MsoNormal">From the press release –


 * “Premiering later this year on go90, Liberty Crossing is the story of a hapless young intelligence analyst at the National Counterterrorism Center who must untangle a terror plot while navigating the office's petty backstabbing and bureaucracy -- all the while tolerating his meddling family.”

<p class="MsoNormal">While you may not get it from that description, Liberty Crossing is apparently a comedy. I don’t know how they’re going to get laughs out of something as serious and deadly as terrorism. Of course, M*A*S*H extracted laughs for 11 seasons from the Korean War so it’s possible.

<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to Hennig, Liberty Crossing also landed a number of the most well-known Teen Wolf crew members to hold down the behind the scenes work. Tyler Schnabel, Bill Gibson (onearmedninja), and Trevor Marsh now work on the show and are posting a lot of BTS stuff from the set.

<p class="MsoNormal">Liberty Crossing is slated for release on the go90 streaming platform via Verizon. The service hasn’t shown much in the way of original content prior to this and it’s unclear when this show will debut.
