Talk about a hairy "Sex and the City." The Fox network is officially developing the previously announced BITCHES, a dramedy about a quartet of female friends in New York who are werewolves from TRICK 'R TREAT director Michael Dougherty. You can read all about the deal beyond the break.
The project, which has received a script plus penalty commitment from the network, hails from feature writer Michael Dougherty and Warner Bros. TV. TV writing duo Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts have come on board to supervise Dougherty. The two also will serve as executive producers alongside Dougherty if the project, described as a quirky urban fairy tale, goes to series.
"Bitches" continues the werewolf theme from Dougherty's recent horror flick "Trick 'r Treat."
2009 is shaping up to be a big year for werewolves with the release of the Benicio del Toro-starring remake of "The Wolfman" and the "Twilight" sequel "New Moon."
WMA-repped Dougherty's writing credits also include "Superman Returns" and "X2: X-Men United." Berg and Harberts recently served as co-exec producers on the ABC/WBTV series "Pushing Daisies."
The duo, repped by ICM and attorney Gretchen Bruggeman Rush, also created/exec produced the WB's "Pepper Dennis."
yeah...wow. you know, if they were going to do anything, why not either remake or better yet, continue the very fantastic "Werewolf" series Fox put out back in the late 80's?
With the vampire craze that's been going on, it's about time werewolves saw some love. I just wish there was a werewolf series out there like "True Blood." But I have a feeling this one won't be the case. *sheds a single tear* I can always hold out some hope, though.
Good call Greekthunder. Werewolf series from the 80's I loved too. What about bringing back She wolf of London? That show wasn't bad for it's time too...maybe update it a bit.
