 MTV Moves Away from Scripted?

MTV appears to be backing away from its heavy push toward scripted programming. The network announced Michael Klein as their new head of programming this week. Klein’s roots are solidly in the reality TV realm. His most recent position at Conde Nast saw him create a news magazine program and online content to support the publishing giant’s most recognized names including Vanity Fair, Vogue, Glamour, Wired and The New Yorker.

Klein was previously with the Sundance Channel where he developed a number of reality shows including Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys, All on the Line With Joe Zee and Push Girls.

Contrast Mr. Klein’s resume with the last person MTV tapped to guide it’s programming.

With a career that included bringing Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Gilmore Girls, Dawson’s Creek and Smallville to television, Susanne Daniels’ hire back in 2012 signaled the network’s and its parent company VIACOM’s newfound dedication to quality scripted programming.

Her tenure barely made a ripple. With high-profile scripted failures like Eye Candy and moderate successes like SCREAM and Shannara Chronicles, Daniels left MTV to join YouTube back in July.

It took the-powers-that-be 8 months to replace her and their choice of Klein is a clear signal that MTV’s direction is shifting back in the direction of Jersey Shore and Teen Mom and away from Shannara, SCREAM and Teen Wolf. According to MTV president Sean Atkins’ statement, “His (Klein’s) leadership and experience are an excellent fit for MTV in this pivotal moment for the network, as we accelerate a new development slate of music and pop culture-inspired programming.”

There's been nothing new released this week about Dylan O'Brien. <p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Teen Wolf News has learned that the Directors Guild of Canada has removed The Maze Runner: The Death Cure from its list of "Current Productions" which includes listings for all television and movie shoots underway or planned to start in the Vancouver area within the next few months. Prior to Friday, The Death Cure had been on the list each week for several months.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">The DGC's removal comes a week after actor Dylan O'Brien was hospitalized after falling from one of the production's sets in Cache Creek, British Columbia.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Little official information about the accident has been released but James Dashner, author of The Maze Runner books gave a few more details to fans at the Paris Book Fair recently. "He's going to be totally fine. He kind of banged up his face," Dashner said while touching his right cheek, "but he'll still be pretty, don't worry."

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Dashner says the movie adaptation of The Death Cure is on hold for a while. "They'll probably start filming again maybe in a couple of months."

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">The writer says O'Brien remains in good spirits, "Even on the day he was hurt, he was joking and laughing. You know how Dylan is. He's tough and he has a great sense of humor and he's going to be totally fine."
