 Teen Wolf News 041114



 Welcome to the Team #7 and #9

This shot came in last night from Dylan Sprayberry.

That’s Dylan and fellow newcomer Mason Dye all kitted out during a Lacrosse shoot in Woodley Park.

This is a major game apparently since they’ve shot on location for two nights running. Here are a couple shots of their opponents from a town (county/private school) called Devenford.

You can always find more from the Teen Wolf Set on our Teen Wolf Behind the Scenes page.

 Teen Wolf Social Praise

There’s been a lot of bandwidth used up this week praising MTV Official Matt McDonough and his minions on their social media prowess.

I don’t actually know if he has minions or anything about the hierarchy at MTV. I always just imagine Matt plugged, Neo-like, into the Matrix - spitting out GIFS and video teases while a bunch of people run around in the shadows behind him.

MTV generally and Teen Wolf specifically has become the standard bearer for engaging the television audience across multiple platforms.

This piece from self-proclaimed “Fanthropologist” Meredith Levine hits nail pretty squarely on head when it comes to the awesomeness of things.

Also - Teen Wolf Official won a shorty award this week – kind of the “best of the web” emmy award for hacking social media in France.

They may have been too successful though.

Viacom – the media mothership of the MTV network – is now looking to cash in on social media success by selling it to advertisers.

I know you didn’t miss the Oculus movie tie-in featuring Holland Roden this week. That was a paid advertisement, part of what Viacom is calling “Echograph” in which the company gets paid based on how many “impressions” it can deliver through a social media campaign.

Basically, they’re selling you to advertisers now because they can count on you to retweet and reblog whatever they put out.

Personally I don’t know how I feel about being socially sold. I already get a little queasy when Posey tries to sell me a t-shirt on Instagram.

 Hunky British Director Leaving Teen Wolf

Christian Taylor – the Teen Wolf writer/director behind Motel California and De-Void is going to be heading up another MTV show in future.

He’s been tapped to take the reins at Eye Candy – the new “cyber thriller” staring Victoria Justice.

MTV apparently hated the pilot that was already shot so they’re starting over from scratch with a mostly new cast (Justice and Harvey Guillen remain) and a new script.

Details on the plot of the show and why Taylor is leaving us are over at the Hollywood Reporter.
