Series 7's deadly reality

Grim reality: Cameras follow the contestants everywhere

With reality TV shows reaching saturation point, Series 7:
The Contenders couldn't have been better timed.

Essentially a Big Brother or Survivor with guns, it bears
all the classic hallmarks of a reality show: dramatic
voiceovers, repetitive trailers, and wobbly cameras.

But amid all the explicit violence runs a rich vein of black
humour.

Pregnant Dawn (Brooke Smith) hunts down her next victim

Six ordinary people are chosen at random to take part in a
reality TV show where the mission is to kill or be killed.

Reigning champion Dawn (Brooke Smith) is eight months
pregnant and determined to win for the sake of her unborn
child.

But things don't go to plan when she has to kill Jeff (Glenn
Fitzgerald), an ex-lover dying of cancer.

Daniel Minahan, the writer and director of Series 7,
explains the inspiration behind his reality TV spoof, which
opens in the UK on Friday 1 June.

What is a "Series 7"?

It's a marathon of episodes from the 7th season of a
television show called The Contenders. We came to the title
Series 7 after much deliberation. I liked it immediately: it
sets a tone that's menacing, sexy, mysterious. What came
before? What happens next? Stay tuned.

It was a combination of the TV format and feature film
screenwriting, a hybrid of two very different disciplines.

I havent seen it yet but when I heard about it I was very
interested.

Just surfing channels I found an interview about it, and I
thought that it was a new reality TV show where they really
did try to kill each other.

Thankfully it was only a movie! But what worried me was that
the Jerry Springer producer or something said that we would
like to make something like Series 7 one day... *shudder*.
