Space Cadets
This is so fucked up yet so fabulous (yes I said fabulous). Our Brit friends are about to unleash a new reality show aiming to pull off the biggest hoax (I wouldn't say biggest, but damn near) in television history by persuading a group of people that they have been blasted off into space!
Nine people will be told they are set to visit the final frontier as space tourists and that in preparation they will undergo intensive training in Russia when in reality, it all takes place at a high tech secret location in the U.K.
Unbeknown to them, their shuttle will be a Hollywood creation, made originally for the film Space Cowboys. A giant custom built screen positioned just outside the shuttle will, it is hoped, provide the illusion of a view of Earth from space. The launch sound has been created by a Hollywood fx studio while the shuttle will tip and rock in the process.
To help keep the "lie" going, three actors will be placed among the group and will be able to report back on whether or not there are any suspicions.
Damn, this is a reality show I would watch!
