 Important Dates

Houston Con –

Dylan Sprayberry and Mason Dye were the only Wolfies set to attend Houston Con until the organizers realized how much of a draw Teen Wolf could be.

Now they’ve added Eaddy Mays, Melissa Ponzio and Orny Adams to the mix and now offer Teen Wolf VIP packages starting at $200.

Houston Con starts on Friday August 8.

Teen Choice Awards-

Dylan O’Brien NEEDS to be the Choice TV Villain when the Teen Choice Awards are announced on Sunday.

Teen Wolf is also nominated for Choice TV Show: Fantasy/Sci-Fi while Tyler Posey is up in the Choice Summer TV Star: Male and Choice TV Actor: Sci-Fi/Fantasy. Tyler Hoechlin rounds out the five noms with a nod as the Choice TV Male Scene Stealer.

You can vote in all the categories once every day at the Teen Choice Awards balloting site.

You can also push more votes to Dylan’s column by sharing this silly campaign commercial I made to promote his evilness.

The Teen Choice Awards show airs live on the Fox Network on Sunday August 10 at 8PM EDT.

 MTV Assimilation

MTV’s new “fan art” site The Collective has sparked an outpouring of artistic effort from the Teen Wolf Fandom – just not the kind the network hoped.

Just a couple of examples there from tumblr – you know, that OTHER site where Teen Wolf Fans express themselves.

We all know that ours’ is a fandom quick to take offense at the smallest slight. Some might say that’s because the slights just keep  coming year after year from the network and the production.

The Geekiary summed up the latest MTV misstep nicely –


 * “Actually, MTV’s biggest mistake was trying to sell this site as a fandom space, because it’s not and fans know that. Not that it doesn’t have anything to offer because a safe space for creators to interact with their audience without having to enter established fan spaces is actually something that could be useful as we continue to negotiate the crumbling fourth wall. But fans are not stupid; they know that The Collective is in MTV’s control. This is not a fandom space, this is an official space where fans are allowed to be. The Collective is not the new Tumblr, and trying to present it that way just causes a whole lot of confusion.”

Geekiary also has a number of quotes from fans who pointed their prose at the perceived problems with The Collective.

While, personally, I think most of this stuff is kneejerk-BS-victim-mentality at its worst – there are some serious legal and ethical questions posed by MTV’s attempt to corral creativity.

 MTV’s Next Great Drama

Since the success of Teen Wolf, MTV has been searching for another dramatic hit for their line-up.

Finding Carter is a moderate success. Having started out with near-Teen Wolf numbers for the debut, the show has settled into a “1.2 million viewers” groove for its last few outings.

The world has been waiting for the SCREAM adaptation for a while now, since 2012. There is some recent movement on that front.

MTV sent out a casting call in Atlanta back in April. That was the last actual confirmed activity for the show. We did get an unconfirmed report last week claiming the series star and a couple supporting cast had been chosen – but again it’s a single, unconfirmed, and unnamed source.

With SCREAM still in pre-pro hell, it looks like Eye Candy the cyber-thriller/ CSI clone from R. L. Stine will be the next contender to actually air.

This production has its problems too though. They shot a pilot over the winter in New York but the network hated it and scrapped the whole thing, including most of the cast.

In April, Teen Wolf’s Christian Taylor (Motel California, Riddled, 117) was brought in to oversee the redo of the pilot for a 10 episode season order from MTV.

As yet, there is nothing to suggest production is actually underway. Victoria Justice(Eye Candy’s Star) is working on a different project all summer while her co-star, Harvey Guillen, did an interview in May that suggests the show won’t hit TVs until 2015.

We’ll likely get 10 episodes of MTV’s answer to Game of Thrones sometime after that. The network has ordered a full series based on author Terry Brook’s The Elfstones of Shannara.

Shannara is just now starting to look for a cast.
