What was the annual budget of The Truman Show? Are we sure it was economically feasible?
i bet christoph had some shady shit going on in that dome somewhere
>>219091866It is said to have an average of 1.5 billion viewers, I don't know how much that pays.
>>219092096According to Hollywood, every movie in Hollywood goes bankrupt, so there's that.
you could sleep with Meryl for 100k
I don't think it's possible and my belief was secerely suspended watching thisHe can't go anywhere that wasn't decided for him. So he doesn't explore anywhere? Never travels? Never meets foreigners? Ever?
>>219095158>Never travels? Never meets foreigners? Ever?They just prepare another set nearby while doing circles for hours pretending he's traveled thousands of miles
I dont see why they cant rent out the housing and businesses to make some of the money back. Not like truman is going to enter every single building. So what if one of them is a shitty call center or some shit.
>>219095158I would just lie to him and make him think transportation is through a submarine that makes you sleep. I would just put chinese or arab themed decorations around town and make everyone put on different outfits. It would probably be easy to convince truman that the world is alike but with minor details. I would even make him go to pretend outer space and make people put on clingon makeup and see if he buys it.
>>219091866probably at least $1000 dollars and at most $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollars
>>219091866Rats born in a cage
Its weird they made his world mimick our own. They should have put him in a fantasy setting and let him grow up along elves and orcs.
>>219095472Because everyone in town has to pretend being part of Truman's story, you would have to brief the employees, make sure they don't talk etc.It reminds me the situation in The Island where Ewan is in contact with Steve Buscemi, which was a major flaw in the system.
>>219095883Until the day he grabs a sword and begins to slash "orcs".
>>219095158I wonder how this works. Presumably he went to college at least?
>>219091866>zoomer doesn't watch the movie>reads the summary>this is what the zoomer posts aboutYou kids are really fucked.
>>219091866The whole premise is fucking retarded beyond belief.How do you maintain an entire town full of actors living fake lives 24/7 for decades? Consider all the social and psychological issues all these people would develop, andf the fact they would all either develop vitamin D deficiency or the production would have been forced to force feed them vit D supplements.
>>219095929Hey he's not that bad.
>>219097002>the fact they would all either develop vitamin D deficiencyThis is a background gag in the movie. There are vending machines full of nothing but different brands of orange juice. Also, pic related.
>>219095883>>219096279There's a storyline in Franken Fran that's kind of like that.
>>219097002All the other actors are implied to be on shifts,Except for the wife. The wife one really doesn’t make sense, even with him at work most of the day. She’s still sleeping in thier bed so there is at least 16 hours of fake life
>>219097892I like to think she was very difficult to cast. They needed someone to make the role their life. She's probably a crazy method actor.
