 Teen Wolf Shooting Schedule ‘Pushed’

It appears Dylan O’Brien’s accident finally caught up with Teen Wolf. While the powers-that-be won’t confirm recent changes in the shooting schedule are due to O’Brien’s condition, reshoots and additional work on the first half of Season 6 planned for this month will now take place in October. “Additional 6A work had to be pushed,” Executive Producer Jeff Davis tells Teen Wolf News. “We're going to start first week of October but that may get pushed to second. It's a bit of a shifting date at the moment. No sooner than October that's for certain.”

Davis would not comment on why they’re delaying but another source close to the Teen Wolf production says Dylan O’Brien “wasn’t ready” for the work set for August.

Until now, Teen Wolf was still on schedule because they frontloaded many of O’Brien’s scenes and filmed them in February before he left to film The Maze Runner: The Death Cure. His accident had little effect on Teen Wolf’s shooting schedule at the time because the plan always included his absence for most of the spring. Now that his recovery has pushed further into the summer than expected, Teen Wolf is forced to bend to his schedule.

The two-month delay is not all about O’Brien’s health, he’s currently set to film American Assassin with Michael Keaton in September meaning he wouldn’t be available for Teen Wolf next month.

From CBS:

AMERICAN ASSASSIN, the action thriller based on the bestselling Simon & Schuster novel by Vince Flynn, will begin filming this September. Dylan O’Brien will play Mitch Rapp, a student recruited into the shadowy world of counter terrorism and Michael Keaton will play Rapp’s mentor, Stan Hurley. HOMELAND alumni Michael Cuesta will direct the thriller from a screenplay by Stephen Schiff, with Laura di Bonaventura and Nick Wechsler producing.

Despite the delay, Jeff Davis says plans for the back half of Teen Wolf Season 6 are continuing. The show is ending after its 100th episode and Davis is looking forward to the story that will close out the series. “I had a lunch meeting with the writers last week and we went over ideas for the last ten episodes,” he says. “We think we've hit on a good theme and supernatural threat for the final round.”

According to MTV News, the first half of Teen Wolf Season 6 will debut on November 15 on MTV, the MTV app, iTunes and Amazon streaming platforms.

 Dylan O’Brien at Jamba Juice?

16-year-old Teen Wolf fan Vanessa Denegri had no idea her summer job at Jamba Juice would put her in the international spotlight and be the ultimate fan experience but a chance encounter with Dylan O’Brien did just that. The actor dropped by the Sherman Oaks, California Jamba Juice where she works this week to pick up a couple of Kale-ribbean Breezes with Whey Protein.

Vanessa was the only one in the store to recognize him. “No one knew who I was talking about and I was like ‘It’s Dylan O’Brien like how can you not know who he is?’” She did what most fans would in her place, she snapped a selfie, covered her face with an emoji because she didn’t like how she looked and then posted it to her friends via Snapchat.



The picture spread quickly and by Monday afternoon many of the major entertainment sites had picked it up because, unbeknownst to Vanessa at the time, this was the first picture of Dylan O’Brien in almost 5 months. It is the “proof of life” so to speak after his near death experience on the set of The Maze Runner: The Death Cure back in March.

Vanessa started seeing her twitter handle everywhere Tuesday morning. “It’s been so amazing, I mean, it was like 15 minutes of fame but longer.” While she was unhappy with the image at first, she’s now changed her mind about letting the world see her face. “I don’t mind you sharing the pic anymore if you want to post it. I just felt like I looked so bad! But, I mean, it was such a great experience I don’t mind.”



<p class="MsoNormal">She’s also got quite a tale to tell her classmates at Cleveland High School in Reseda when classes resume there later this month. “I felt super good and super happy for all the fans because I was the first one to post a pic with him since his accident and it’s so crazy!”

<p class="MsoNormal">Dylan O’Brien is slated to begin filming American Assassin with Michael Keaton in September. He’ll return to Teen Wolf for some reshoots and pickup scenes in October.

<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone who follows Tyler Posey via social media, his podcast or YouTube knows he has a good heart and a somewhat twisted sense of humor. This week the latter overwhelmed the former and Posey found himself steeped (once again) in controversy over a joke.

<p class="MsoNormal">On a trip to New York’s West Village with members of the MTV digital staff in tow, Posey happened upon Gay Street. What followed was a harsh lesson in social media mistakes.



<p class="MsoNormal">The video, originally on Snapchat, was picked up by several websites as Posey seriously making a declaration of his orientation. In a post that’s since been removed, Perez Hilton was one of the few to question the actor’s sincerity early, “Did Tyler Posey​ just do what I think he did? Is he joking or being serious?” Other sites just ran with it despite the fact that those who know Posey knew immediately it was just one of those things he just thought was funny.

<p class="MsoNormal">Later Posey tweaked those who didn’t see the joke by replicating the video with a lamp in his hotel room and declaring “I am lamp.” Again, he found this funny. <p class="MsoNormal">None of it was funny. As Michael Lambert wrote in an Op-Ed for OUT magazine, “I can’t shake the disconnect between the gut-wrenching fear I faced (coming out) years ago—when I risked losing my father and losing my opportunity to finish college—with an MTV darling hanging out in the Village and making a joke.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Lots of anger flowed Posey’s way. At first the actor’s surrogates tried to play up the jokiness. An MTV rep actually said the actor meant “happy” gay not gay gay. This too discounted the feelings and fear that accompany coming out and resulted in angering and hurting more fans.

<p class="MsoNormal">Tyler apologized (or thought he did) in a series of tweets the next morning. “I am a big proponent of love over hate, and standing together during divisive times. Although I'm not gay, I fully support the LGBTQ community. This was a moment intended to reflect that.”

<p class="MsoNormal">That last bit, about the video where he makes light of what to many is a deadly serious topic being reflective of his support for gay people, had folks scratching their heads. Posey quickly followed up with an actual apology. “And everyone, I am truly sorry to the people I've offended or lessened how big coming out is. I just want to spread love in this world.”

Here Endeth the Lesson
<p class="MsoNormal">This Posey parable doesn’t have a simple moral at its core. Anyone who’s spent even five minutes with the guy knows he means no harm to anyone and yet he’s in a position to cause great harm to millions of people with a careless word. If he continues living, he will make more mistakes on this level or greater. One can only hope that he won’t make the same mistakes more than once.

<p class="MsoNormal">Tyler Hoechlin fans have a new reason to watch Supergirl when Season 2 debuts in October. New set pictures of the former Teen Wolf in his Superman suit show off a heretofore unknown superpower of the iconic character – that super-booty!

<p class="MsoNormal">The shots are already drawing comparisons to internet booty queen Kim Kardashian. <p class="MsoNormal">Hoechlin started filming in Vancouver this week. He appears as the Man of Steel in the first two episodes of Supergirl Season 2. Hoechlin, the sixth actor portraying Kal-El of Krypton on television, is not the first to draw so much attention to what’s under that red cape.

<p class="MsoNormal">Social media barely existed when Dean Cain (Lois & Clark) wore the suit and Tom Welling (Smallville) never really got into the traditional blue and red so we don’t know what initial reactions to their spandex-covered bottoms were like. Similar gasps of appreciation and applause greeted both recent big-screen supermen Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill as audiences first spied their superior posteriors. Hoechlin’s turn in the suit is already eclipsing them.

<p class="MsoNormal">You can see more images of Hoechlin in his Super-suit over at Fandom.com
