The Truman Show heading to TV?

April 10, 2014 by Gavin Logan

Back in 1998 before reality TV would laboriously take over all our lives (whether we liked it or not) a fairly small movie called The Truman Show starring funny man Jim Carrey in an unlikely straight role surprised everyone with it’s compelling storytelling, on point writing and stellar performances from it’s lead actors to deliver an almost perfect portrayal of one ordinary working class man whose life has literally been one massive lie all for the sake of TV ratings. Well now Paramount, the studio behind the original movie, seems to be on board with developing the concept into a TV series.

No further details have been revealed yet as to how exactly they will approach it from a TV angle. It may be that they will use the same concept but not use the same character, Truman Burbank. Or they may come at it from the same perspective as the recent Fargo or From Dusk Till Dawn shows; the same story just told a different way. There’s also the possibility that it could be a direct prequel or sequel. Either way, it’s highly unlikely that Jim Carrey will return in any capacity but stranger things have happened. Paramount have reportedly put a lot of money into their relatively new television division so look for more announcements in the next few weeks.
