Fox hunting werewolves
Net is developing 'Howl' for DreamWorks TV
By MARC GRASER, MICHAEL SCHNEIDER
Never mind vampires -- the Fox network is looking to get back into the werewolf business, developing "Howl," from DreamWorks TV.
Project is being written by Joshua Miller and M.A. Fortin. DreamWorks TV toppers Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank would exec produce.
"Howl" is described as an epic family saga about warring families of werewolves in a small Alaskan town.
"Alaska is a place where people disappear and now you know why," Miller said.
The script reflects the changes that are going on in the country, and "metamorphosis and constant change is the basis of werewolf mythology," he added. "Howl" is about "the psychology of living with change."
One of the Fox network's first series, 1987's "Werewolf," also revolved around the mythic creatures. More recently, CBS aired the short-lived "Wolf Lake," while MTV is currently developing a new take on the 1980s movie "Teen Wolf."

Fox Gets Into the Werewolf Game
by Richard Lawson TV.com Staff Writer 12/04/09 07:55 AM
...While MTV works on their "serious" TV series version of Teen Wolf (this is actually happening), Fox is developing its own lycan show, called Howl. As you can tell by the title, this show will be about a weary beat poet who sees the best minds of his generation destroyed by madness. Particularly, the madness of becoming a werewolf every full moon. No, kidding. It's actually about two warring Alaskan families who are all werewolves. How much you want to bet there's gonna be a little Romeo & Juliet action going on? The only trouble with that? How do you make she-werewolves sexy? Maybe you don't. Maybe you just don't.

You know, that beat poet story actually sounds potentially better than the Alaskan werewolf story.
