Let's Play the 'Trust'--in English, in Chile?
« on: June 16, 2008, 05:23:59 PM »
Fox Television Studios is shooting a pilot in Santiago, Chile, of all places, for a new Q&A show called "Family Trust," to be hosted by Greg Fitzsimmons of (well, to us) "Idiot Savants" fame:

No indication of future placement for the series, but the pilot was originally going to be shot in *Argentina* before they moved to Chile.  I'm sure they could find expatriate contestants, but could they find 200 people fluent enough in English to be an audience, especially if the set is like all other prime time game shows these days (or are they dubbing in audience response for the pilot?).  Is South America that much cheaper to shoot a pilot (if they go series, they'd have to shoot in the U.S.)?
