Phil De Franco: "What JAWS did for sharks - CATFISH will do the same for FACEBOOK. If you watch it, you will see!" That is quite a claim coming from one of the biggest YouTube Stars right now!
I must admit that I'm kind of a sucker for paranormal reality shows. Mysterious encounters with ghosts, extraterrestrials and other unexplained oddities are an easy way to hook me, so the more the merrier. Well, looks like we're getting more, and it's coming from an A-list director.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, A&E has reached a deal with Doug Liman (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Bourne Identity) to produce a pilot called "The Unexplained", which will tell first-person, real-life stories investigating supposed paranormal phenomena.
Synopsis: In late 2007, filmmakers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost sensed a story unfolding as they began to film the life of Ariel’s brother, Nev. They had no idea that their project would lead to the most exhilarating and unsettling months of their lives. A reality thriller that is a shocking product of our times, Catfish is a riveting story of love, deception and grace within a labyrinth of online intrigue.
