Step aside Michael J. Fox and Jason Bateman - there's a new "Teen Wolf" in town.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network has found its lead for the TV remake of the 1985 movie and its subsequent sequel.
, who is best known for his roles in "Lincoln Heights" and "Brothers & Sisters," will take on the role of Scott McCall, a dorky high-school student who gains a slew of new powers after being attacked by a wolf - including the gift of attracting girls.
Young stars Tyler Hoechlin ("7th Heaven"), Crystal Reed (MTV's "Hard Times") and Dylan O'Brien have also been cast in the pilot.
The series will reportedly be both a drama and buddy-comedy, written by "Criminal Minds" creator Jeff Davis.
Although the original film was a PG plot, MTV Senior Vice President Liz Gateley hinted the series might be a bit darker.
"It has a fresh take and is very different from the original," Gateley previously said. "It has more of an 'American Werewolf in Paris' feel to it."
No word if the new series will feature Scott strutting his wolf talents on the basketball court like the original.

The reason why i haven't been able to write to much is because i have school, after school activites, projects, afternoon homework, and weekend work!! I know, it's crazy!!! but i have two major projecrts due, one in december, and one in January!!! So I know that you are thinking 'Well, other writers can write their stories and have more work than me' The problem is that i can't focus on more than one thing and i get weekly projects so that messes up everything!
As soon as i have time to write i will!! I penkey swear!!!! Thanks you for bearing with me!! You guys rock!!
Luv u,
