Quirky werewolf tale unleashed at Fox Broadcasting

By Nellie Andreeva

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Talk about a hairy "Sex and the City."

The Fox network has ordered a script for "Bitches," a comedy-drama about a quartet of female friends in New York who are werewolves.

The project, described as a quirky urban fairy tale, hails from feature writer Michael Dougherty, who wrote the recent werewolf 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."
