ROTTEN TOMATOES: Remake Buzz: "Supergirl" and "Teen Wolf"??

Remake Buzz: "Supergirl" and "Teen Wolf"??

by Scott Weinberg | March 28, 2007

Got a pair of news bites regarding two potential remakes: One would mark the return of Kal-El's cousin and the other would be ... a remake of "Teen Wolf"? Really?

According to Dark Horizons, a "Teen Wolf" remake might be getting underway up in Canada. Apparently "Smallville" resident Tom Welling is up for the lead role.

And according to JoBlo, it looks like a brand-new "Supergirl" movie might be in the offing. Rumor indicates that Tricia Helfer from "Battlestar Galactica" might be in line for the lead role.

Take both items with a grain of salt, obviously, but they're interesting enough to mention, I suppose. (And for the record, the last "Supergirl" was played by Helen Slater and the "Teen Wolf" was played by Michael J. Fox.)

Actually, Dark Horizons made note that Welling is up for a role that ISN'T the lead.

Isn't Tricia Helfer a little too old to be playing super[b]girl[/b]?

Welling does not need to go lower than Smalliville right now. It's cheesy enough.

Yeah, Helfer is too old.

You want the popular vote: Hayden Panetierre (Heroes) or even Jessica Biel.

Remakes... that's all there seems to be these days. Well, that and continuous recycling of ideas. I would like to see a new Supergirl movie... if done right. But Teen Wolf... passsssssss

for some reason a remake of "Teen Wolf" seems very appropiate

since remakes are the thing, they should go into the vaults and remake BAD MOVIES.

At least noone cares enough about either of these movies to care what get's done with them...

I hope they keep Teen Wolf a comedy, after all Canada already gave us the serious version, and it was actually pretty good.

As much as I hate remakes, I have to say that in these two instances, they can't possibly be worse than the originals, so why not?

[b]ummmm Helen Slater...[/b]
Helen Slater on herself dressed up in the Supergirl costume: "I looked like a jackass!"

We can all watch Teen Wolf practically everyday. It's called the Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe is the ball hogging wolf and the rest of those idiots just stand around. (Sorry, I stole this observation from ESPN's Sports Guy)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
On both counts.

The first Teen Wolf wasn't a comedy? I must have seen a different movie.

I agree. At least then they can claim they had good reason for the remake.
