Back in the 70's Don Adans hosted a game show where contestants worked with actors to recreate a scene from a famous movie. It was called "Don Adam's Screen Test". Now, nearly 30 years later, E! wants to bring that concept back by bringing contestants to work with actors to recreate stunts from major films. The show's called "Scream Play". A June air date has been announced.
If Don Adams is still alive, would he aproove of this idea? Also, would this be the longest time between the original & the revival(if you want to call it that)? [/quote]
Don is alive, but he is 81 years old so I doubt he'd be considered to host it. Don doesn't have to approve as he doesn't own the format rights to the show.
If this is indeed a revival of DA's Screen Test(and if SB is saying it's a revival of DA's Screen Test, take it with a grain of something), it's now 28 years since that show ended first-run production. Not counting the Jim Lange pilot from 1982, Twenty One had a roughly 41 year gap between the end of the original version and the Povich remake's debut. I think that is the record between runs of a game show.
