Werewolf Show 'Bitches' Like 'Sex and the City' With More Fangs And Bikini-Line Hair
In a bold programming gambit that officially solidifies 2009 as the Hollywood Year of the Lycanthrope, Fox is developing Bitches, a "dramedy about a quartet of female friends in New York who are werewolves."
The project, which has received a script plus penalty commitment from the network, hails from feature writer Michael Dougherty and Warner Bros. TV. [...]
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."
While the impulse to compare the Bitches to the Sex girls is tempting, we're told that the two quartets couldn't be more different, beyond the fact that they're both a little gnarly to be around once per month. For example, the central bitch is rumored to be a lovelorn pet-care columnist, who blows all her money on size 28, open-pawed Manolo slingbacks, and can frequently be found huffing on a cigarette while tapping things on her laptop like, "As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and AWWWWWWOOOOOOOoooo!!"
