Benoit Blanc is back 😁 !!

And another amazing cast: Dave Bautista, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Kate Hudson, Madelyn Cline, Jessica Henwick, and Ethan Hawke.

the stress was part of the experience.

Netflix has announced a reality competition based on "Squid Game", the hit Korean drama which took the world by storm last September.

The series, a biting criticism of the class system and the dangers of capitalism, centres on a group of people who compete in deadly games for the chance to win an enormous cash prize.

So, naturally, this should be translated into a real life competition.

"Squid Game: The Challenge" is in production, with an open call for contestants.

Much like in the series, 456 players will take part in a series of games with the aim to be the last person standing, and win the cash prize of $4.56 million (€4.38 million).

We assume that the competition won't take the same twist the show took and kill off contestants, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

“Squid Game took the world by storm with Director Hwang (Dong-hyuk)’s captivating story and iconic imagery," said Brandon Riegg, Netflix’s VP of unscripted and documentary series.

"We’re grateful for his support as we turn the fictional world into reality in this massive competition and social experiment.”

“Fans of the drama series are in for a fascinating and unpredictable journey as our 456 real world contestants navigate the biggest competition series ever, full of tension and twists, with the biggest ever cash prize at the end.”

Yes. Yes it was.

I hate roller coasters and I hate Uncut Gems and I understand them both. I agree it is skilfully made to a point but I actually think it would have benefited from a bit more tonal variety, which is more a question of taste than skill.

Both of those movies are coming of age comedies!!!!!!

Depends on the type of tension you can enjoy. Uncut Gems uses overlapping dialogue, ringing phones, unresolved questions to create tension; it's a very noisy and chaotic film. Personally, I don't enjoy that kind of tension - more like stress really - but I do enjoy the tension in a thriller, that builds as you're not sure who's an enemy or who's a friend, or a horror movie for sort of similar reasons, but I don't like horror movies that just throw a bunch of shocks at you.

Korean you say? Monster you say? Gore and violence you say? I'm in.

Wonder why they took so long to announce the Sweet Home, Squid Game and All of Us Are Dead renewals yet cancel other shows not long after they air.

Like Sweet Home came out in 2020 and if they're only going to start production now, it will likely be sometime in 2023 it gets released.
