Exclusive: The Truman Show writer Andrew Niccol reveals his pitch for a TV show version of the classic Jim Carrey movie, which would be a sequel.
As audience obsession with reality shows remains stronger than ever, The Truman Show writer Andrew Niccol reveals his pitch for a TV show continuation of the movie. Jim Carrey led the cast of the iconic 1998 movie as Truman Burbank, a typical everyman who eventually comes to learn that he was raised in a life-like TV set populated with actors and seeks to escape in order to reclaim some form of agency in his life.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In honor of the movie's 25th anniversary, Screen Rant spoke exclusively with Andrew Niccol to look back on The Truman Show.
There has been talk of doing a musical – believe it or not – or a series. When it’s a different art form, I don’t think it takes anything away from the original. In my version of a series, I thought it would be fun, if after Truman walked through the sky, the audience clamored for more . I imagine there would be a network with multiple channels all starring a subject born on the show.
What The Truman Show Could Look Like In The Present Day At the time of its release, The Truman Show was a satirical take on the early days of reality television with the likes of Big Brother and Survivor, though the 25 years since it came out has only made the movie much more timely.
Niccol's idea of a romance crossing social classes in his The Truman Show TV pitch would also be an interesting twist on the formula by setting it in the existentialist world of the Carrey movie. By highlighting the unnecessary gaps in social classes through the lens of controlled environments, the sequel show could explore how a lot of media continues to reinforce these differences rather than work towards a more harmonious world, as Truman would've wanted.
