Right then.
I just got out of a screening of this movie at TIFF. It’s… decent.
I think where it falls down for me is that I know a bit too much, and I had suspected that’s where it be challenging for most of us.
I’ll keep the spoilers to a minimum but as they take dramatic license with the story they’ve taken dramatic license with the game play. For example - no second question round. I’ll leave it at that - if you want more, well, you best go see the film.
The set is well done. They haven’t licensed the theme. The board sound (to my ears) was spot on and my original guess of Dean Goss playing Rod Roddy’s voice was clearly off.
Byl Carruthers’ son consulted on the film but that’s the only connection I could see game show industry wise. No mention of Fremantle or CBS anywhere in the credits.
Happy to answer questions without giving massive things away. The director did answer some questions at the end as best he could.
Also mods: I feel like this is okay here but if not I’m happy to move it over.
