Teen Wolf Auction
Your chance to own a piece of Beacon Hills history is coming up in September when hundreds of items from Teen Wolf go up for auction. A company called Screen Used has most of the stuff you saw on screen during the show’s six-season run, and you could buy a piece for as little as $5. Teen Wolf News spoke with Desi DosSantos at Screen Used this week. He says they got almost everything that wasn’t nailed down from Teen Wolf HQ.
 * “I’ve been working with the production since two or three months ago. When they finished up everything, I grabbed all the costumes and wardrobe and props and everything that they had. I’m working with them to put on an auction next month (September).”

In addition to the items you would expect to see like Lydia’s prom dress and Scot’s Jersey, you’ll also find iconic signage from the hospital, the Beacon Hills Preserve, and the Sheriff’s station as well as props like Kira’s sword and some of the stuff from Stiles’ room.
 * “I think people will be pretty pleased,” he says. “I’ve been on Teen Wolf Wikia several times to look up information as I’m writing descriptions.”

Desi is a leader in the movie memorabilia auction world with more than a decade of experience and some high-profile auctions under his belt. This spring in Silicon Valley, he sold one of the original Star Wars stormtrooper helmets, a Superman III body suit, the mask from The Mask, and Doc Brown’s “Mr. Fusion” from Back to the Future III. However, Teen Wolf is the company’s first attempt auctioning off a big, multi-season TV show. More than 720 items will be up for grabs in the first two online auctions. The first will feature stuff from Seasons 1 through Season 5. It starts on Sunday, September 17 and runs through September 30. The bidding process is a little complicated, but that’s to keep it fair and avoid folks swooping in and “sniping” at the last second.
 * “This is a timed auction. Each lot will automatically end one minute apart. The auction will not allow sniping at the last second, so everyone has a fair chance to bid what they feel comfortable with. If an item receives a bid within the last 3 minutes, the end time will automatically be extended another 3 minutes. Each item displays the exact time it is scheduled to end.”

Screen Used is also starting the bidding extremely low with no reserve pricing. That means everyone will at least have a shot at getting something.
 * “I’ve still got to get this 1000% okayed, but what we’ve done with the folks at the production is we’ve agreed to a starting price of $5 on everything. Every single person can at least bid on something. You may not win it, but you can bid on something, and there are going to be a few things that go for $5.”

If you don’t see something you want in the first round of sales, Desi tells me that he has “thousands and thousands” of Teen Wolf things in total and expects to offer more for auction later on. Teen Wolf Auction Link - http://www.screenused.com/index.cfm?page=landing

Saintgnue Las Vegas Assault Case Settlement?
It appears Teen Wolf Cody Saintgnue (Brett) has agreed to settle his lawsuit against a Las Vegas night club and the casino employees who roughed him up back in 2014. Court records show the “Defendant’s” entered a “Notice of Settlement” this week.  Saintgnue filed suit against the Mirage Casino, the 1 OAK night club and several employees after his 21st birthday celebration with family and a few friends went horribly wrong. “I found myself in an unfortunate situation,” Saintgnue said of the incident, “the 1 OAK nightclub in Vegas/The Mirage attempted to shake me down, and obtain more money for services not wanted or requested.” <p class="MsoNormal">Surveillance video shows the actor being led away by security employees of the Mirage Casino. As he attempts to record the incident on his phone, he is tackled by several large men, knocked into a wall and then to the floor. <p class="MsoNormal">His attorney claims the attack left Saintgnue with lasting injuries. While Las Vegas Judge Michelle Leavitt let the Mirage off the hook, dismissing Saintgnue’s claim against the casino “with prejudice,” six defendants, including the owners of 1 Oak, remained in the suit. <p class="MsoNormal">The court has yet to release details of the settlement, and the case is still listed as “open” until the judge agrees to the terms of the announced agreement. As of this writing, there are no further court dates scheduled in the case. <h2 class="MsoNormal">Next on Teen Wolf: Triggers <p class="MsoNormal">After a week’s hiatus, Teen Wolf returns on Sunday with a brand-new episode! Episode 616, Triggers, will feature another of first-time directors as Teen Wolf writer and co-executive producer Eric Wallace takes over the big chair. We’ll also go inside one of Los Angeles’ most famous landmarks in this week’s episode. <p class="MsoNormal">According to the official synopsis, “Liam and Theo attempt to draw the Hunters away from Beacon Hills.” What that doesn’t tell you is the two uneasy allies will be leading them to a new Beacon Hills location filmed at the old Griffith Park Zoo. <p class="MsoNormal">“We used the old LA Zoo cages and stuff,” Showrunner Jeff Davis explains, “shot everywhere we could.” <p class="MsoNormal">If this place looks familiar, it’s because several dozen movies and TV shows filmed here. Parts of the location are so familiar to viewers that Jeff Davis said he had to limit what the production could show. "I wouldn’t allow shooting in the main façade because it’s been shot so much before, most noticeably in Anchorman.” <p class="MsoNormal">Beyond the infamous bear scene with Will Ferrell, you’ve seen the zoo in the Arnold Schwarzenegger, Vanessa Williams film Eraser and the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation where it subbed for the Pawnee Zoo for the episode with the same-sex marriage penguins.

Eric Wallace Takes Over
<p class="MsoNormal">While Triggers won’t be writer-turned-director Eric Wallace’s first time calling the shots, the episode does mark his prime time directing debut.
 * <p class="MsoNormal">“What I can tell you about Eric Wallace’s episode, he had a lot to do with new, younger actors,” Jeff Davis explains. “Both Froy Gutierrez and Andrew Matarazzo absolutely loved working with Eric. They both said he was one of their favorite directors to work with.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Teen Wolf News caught up with Andrew Matarazzo (Gabe) earlier this week. He says Wallace’s background in the writers’ room made for a deeper understanding of his character.
 * <p class="MsoNormal">“Eric really asked me questions that made me think of things I could do differently for each take that were still in the spirit of Gabe, but maybe not something I had posed myself. I just really enjoyed that he was so educated about the dynamics of our characters, that his direction was always so specific and made sense with my own choices and decisions as Gabe. He knows how to talk to actors, and it wasn't only about the shot.”

<p class="MsoNormal">You can catch Triggers on MTV and the MTV App on Sunday night at 8 PM. New episodes are also available on iTunes and Amazon Video.
