Run for Money Reality Show on Sci Fi
So, I read this article about a new reality show on Sci Fi called Run for Money, and it immediately sounded like a familiar premise to me. Turns out, it is similar to the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie The Running Man (based on a Stephen King novel), as well as a show that almost aired six years ago. I vaguely remember hearing about a show from Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, called The Runner, where a contestant would move across the country as a fugitive, trying to escape capture from the home viewers. The show never aired because of post-9/11 security concerns, but Affleck and Damon did manage to get the reality show Push, Nevada on the air waves, if only for a limited run. In Sci Fi’s Run for Money, again the fugitive concept is in place, with a number of contestants trying to win prizes through tasks and avoid the “Hunters” who will take them out of the game. Interesting about this show is that each episode will be filmed during a real-time 60 minutes. I’m curious to see how they can pull that off, so it may be worth tuning in. The show will air during the upcoming 2007-2008 season.
