I had heard about this show about a gated community perhaps of vampires. I didn't see anything about this until I just happened to see the trailer today. I'm assuming yellow eyes refers to werewolves. The Underworld 3 star that played Sonja is supposed to be a vampire. The werewolf was a male, didn't recognize him, but the trailer looked cool!!!! Has anyone else seen this? Or have more information b/c the trailer is kind of different than the spill people had said the show was about? (I think it's on some of the horror websites)

Premieres June 20th! on ABC

From some of the promotional material:

"Colton Haynes as Brett Crezski : Linebacker of the football team. Not a dumb jock, though. Genuinely smart. Usually highly successful in his love life. Struggles with his anger occasionally, which has serious implications since he’s a werewolf."

The show is being pitched as a supernatural version of Desperate Housewives. I'm just hoping the werewolf will consist of more than yellow contacts.

can't remember if it was yellow contacts or yellow contacts plus some CG effects. I do remember growling though! The chick from Underworld 3 is a vampire. This new clip she actually bites the guy instead of their being a hint that she's gonna do it.

OK, I saw the trailer. I definitely saw the yellow contacts and the growling. Don't know about the CGI effects though. I also saw a quick, and I do mean quick, shot of the werewolf guy being confronted by someone the morning after and he appeared to be wearing a tattered shirt, so they may be going with the "wolf man" sort of look.

Either way, with this as well as the girl from Underworld 3, I'll check this out to see if it's worth the time.

CGI.  I froze the scene. I can't tell if those are contacts or if those are contacts and the yellow was enhanced with CGI. I wanna go with the latter. I don't know, still looked cool though. We'll find out June 20th.

Okay they're really promoting this and new werewolf clip. Yeah it's probably contacts.

Rhonna? just jumped off the stairway, yeah it looked  like she was on wires, but this was done brilliantly. CAN'T WAIT for this show.

I just saw this. I think it's a werewolf dog version (well regular wolf). Looks sweet.

<ironic mode>Ahm, another hard-guy-werewolf-with-bad-attitude, I can't believe that they've become so original  </ironic mode>

Totally agree. Search on YouTube and they've been adding new ones every day.

From what I've seen so far in the promos, it appears that there's a pack of werewolves in this one, four by my count.

There's a preview of the show on Hulu.  No werewolves in the clip, but some vampire antics are included.

Anyone catch the pilot?

I did. It was all right. I think it has potential. As for the werewolf aspect of it... so far, they've only introduced a small group of teenage boys from the high school. It looks like one of them is sort of "apart" from his peers, while the others have a tendency to push the rules. They asked him to go "run" with them sometime, to which he replided it was against "the code." I'm guessing there will be some adult werewolves that show up at some point, but thus far they haven't been pictured. And the teenage boys shown in the pilot seem like your typical teen rebellion group, sneaking around behind grown-ups backs. I guess we'll see.

There were a lot of yellow eyes in the pilot, mostly when a werewolf was starting to "lose it." They only showed a fully transformed wolf ONCE, and it was very brief. Also, the shot was in the dark - thus making it even more difficult to make it out. But, for my money, it looked like they used a German Shepherd Dog in the shot! That's almost worse than using crappy CGI or other bad effects. I mean... there are so many captive wolves these days that are socialized enough to be used in television that if they want to go the route of real wolves, they could actually use REAL wolves if they wanted. Then again, like I said... it was in the dark. hrm. I think I'll re-watch the episode to see if I can tell if it was a wolf or a dog. It took me a little off guard the first time, then it was over before I knew it.

Oooh, and someone mentioned something up there about werewolves that are gorgeous in any form. That kind of got me thinking. I wonder if anyone has considered making a show where you have quadrupedal werewolves and bipedal werewolves both - like different species, but both claiming to be the "true" werewolves or something. Have them be all hostile to each other, something like that. It would probably be a little complicated, which is why no one would do it. I would find it facinating myself, though. I mean, personally I prefer werewolves who turn into actual wolves - but that is because I like the idea of becoming a wolf, not really the idea of becoming a beast creature.

As for the vampires in this... haha, now they amused me. I kind of felt like it was a couple where one was having a problem with some compulsion like alcoholism (only in this case, biting people), while the other was trying to keep the spouse reigned in for the sake of the kid. And I wonder if that kid is actually theirs, and if so is she a vampire? Some comments the father made make me wonder.

Okay, I'm off to go watch that episode again!

It's on abc.com and a few other places. Plus if you have an Ipod, you can download the first episode for free.

By the way, I liked the first episode. It has a lot of potential. Hopefully it can build on this in upcoming episodes.

I liked it. Hope there are more wolves than the teenage boys though. Perhaps some adult werewolves. And someone said on another forum they'd like to see female werewolves. That'd be cool. I guess.

Really enjoyed this one, sort of a light True Blood but not too bad. They should add zombies and Succcubis as well.

Oh cool, love Succubis but maybe zombies could be next.

yep in it might get the werewolf. I was pissed the 3rd episode didn't come on Sunday, but everythign went into rerun mode so...

anyway new episode this Sunday.

Interesting that you mention this as the blonde kids father also turned out to be a werewolf. 

I'd actually like to the traditional half man/wolf version show up as it seems both this show and TB have gone a bit low budget using just wolves.

yup. Finally this is about to get GOOD. I was starting to not care when it came on (b/c i'd just get around to it later) but I'm looking forward to episode 4.
