 Teen Wolf to Skip NY Comic Con?

As of right now there is nothing Teen Wolf related on the schedule for New York Comic Con October 9th - 12th.

This will be the first time since 2011 that Teen Wolf won't have anything going at the annual autumnal gathering of geek culture. The production never really did much for NYCC. In 2012, it was just Jeff Davis and Tyler Posey doing a panel discussion and last year they did Jeff, Dylan O'Brien and Linden Ashby.

Still, I'm a little surprised there's nothing.

 Teen Wolf’s Cyber Stalking Cousin

The next big drama from MTV is finally filming now in New York.

Eye Candy stars Victoria Justice as a tech wiz detective searching for a serial killer.

They already shot a pilot for this show last year but the network REALLY didn’t like it. They retooled and brought in writer/producer Christian Taylor to guide the show as Executive Producer. Taylor is responsible for Motel California and several memorable Teen Wolf episodes. The network is banking on him to generate similar success with Eye Candy.

Filming started September 9th in a Brooklyn studio and the production has branched out to the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan over the past few weeks. This means MTV will have 3 dramas airing in 2015 - Teen Wolf, Finding Carter, and Eye Candy.

 Dylan O’Brien > Shia LaBeouf

The Maze Runner actually did better than the initial weekend box office reports stated. In total, the movie cleared $32,512,804 in the US. The foreign box office receipts topped $49 million and that doesn’t include big markets like Germany and China which will come later.

Because, for some unknown reason, US journalists seem only to care about domestic receipts when it comes to ranking movie success – we’re forced to consider the success of Dylan O’Brien’s first blockbuster through native eyes.


 * The Maze Runner is the 6th highest opening for a movie released in the month of September.


 * It is first among Science Fiction films with a September release.


 * The closest comparable September SciFi movie is Eagle Eye which featured a young star (Shia LaBeouf) in an action thriller. Eagle Eye made $29,150,721 during its opening weekend in 2008.


 * The film achieved a CinemaScore of A- based on polls of movie goers at theaters around the country.


 * There are estimates (not too unrealistic) that Maze Runner could top $200 million in worldwide sales before all is said and done.

It’s a hit. Dylan is now, officially, a movie star. Fox (the studio responsible for the picture) announced the sequel, The Scorch Trials immediately after counting Friday night’s ticket sales. Some Teen Wolf Wiki users questioned if this means Dylan is leaving the show but doing a movie like this shouldn’t interfere with his work as Stiles.

Teen Wolf is set to begin filming Season 5 in December much as they did Season 3 back in 2012-2013. They filmed Season 3 in two blocks with a 2 and a half month spring hiatus between. It was during this break that Dylan filmed The Maze Runner.

I would bet one of my kidneys that MTV and the other production entities responsible for Teen Wolf will do anything short of changing the name of the show to keep Dylan happy and make sure he can do both.

 Still Waiting to Hear about Hoechlin

I’m still waiting to hear if Tyler Hoechlin will be doing the Richard Linklater baseball movie. It films in October and November in Austin, Texas. This would also fit nicely into the Teen Wolf schedule since they won’t be back in Northridge until after this film is supposed to wrap on November 29th.

I can’t imagine he’d turn something like this down. Mainly he should do it because it sounds like fun but also because Linklater is an Oscar favorite this year for his 12 year opus Boyhood.
