-the premise of the pilot is that we will all be playing poker over the course of 1 week trying to meet some arbitrary cumulative $ goal. The person who earns the least will be forced to do some ridiculous stunt, dare, punishment, etc. There will be a big party and some other sweet sillyness, like footage of my dunk training and possibly flying F14 jets. There is an awesome house. We live in it.
-we are headed out there for 2 weeks to film the pilot. If the pilot is good, there’s a high likelihood we will get a 6-8 episode series.
... this jazzy description of the TV show:HOUSE OF CARDS, a half hour special, will chronicle the lives of a group of top-flight online poker players.

The show will reportedly be produced by Emmy Award winner Michael Maloy.
If you want to follow what's going on with the taping of House of Cards, Krantz and FoxwoodsFiend are blogging about it. Krantz also made some interesting comments on 2+2, including (1, 2):
ReplyDelete... air, which i doubt will be before 2009 unfortunately
... one thing i've learned from this production is that reality tv is certainly not reality as you see it, and at the end of the day they need to sell a tv show. but yah, either way, i think this will be some entertaining tee-vee.

ReplyDeleteThat was just the pilot, which will not air. This is the same show, with a new name, and with the dead weight dropped (Ariel).
