Fresh TV Live-Action Movie to Air on TELETOON in Fall

TORONTO: Total Drama Island producer Fresh TV, in association with Canada’s TELETOON, is in production on its first live-action TV movie, My Babysitter’s a Vampire, which is slated for an October debut.

Set to air on TELETOON’s English- and French-language services, My Babysitter’s a Vampire is a fast-paced action comedy that spoofs a host of horror movie genres. The movie was created by the team of Tom McGillis and Jennifer Pertsch from a screenplay written by Tim Burns (An American Werewolf in Paris, Crank Yankers). "we are making ample fun of the Twilight franchise," McGillis recently told World Screen. "You cannot talk to 11-year-old boys about Twilight without them rolling their eyes and saying, “OMG that stupid movie!” This is primarily for a boy-lead audience. The movie is about a 13-year-old guy who is just a terrible baby sitter for his sister who is eight. [So the parents hire a babysitter] but she’s a smoking hot 16-year-old girl from school that he’s always had a crush on and she’s transitioning into a vampire because her boyfriend bit her. So he has to save her and the town in 90 minutes." For more from McGillis’s interview with World Screen, click here.
