Or heavily taken the concept for a new movie (that I know of). With how remake-heavy Hollwood seems to be, this seems like it would be easy pickins.

Such a great concept and a great movie.

To clarify- I don't want them to remake this, nor do I think it would be any good. Just surprised they haven't tried to cash in on it.

Tbh, the movie overall doesn't get enough discussion and idk why

reality television was innovative in the year 1990. We are in 2023 now. Reality television is no longer innovative

Not at all. Everything was controlled on the island that Truman lived on.

If it were a nowadays movie, the entire internet that Truman has access to would be controlled. He wouldn't be able to penetrate to the internet we use.

The hidden cameras and odd things the townspeople did would be explained to Truman as "idiots filming their tiktoks" and he would never think anything was off about his life.

They probably wouldnt have access to it to start with.

Surprised the horrible EdTV hasn't been remade either but that would imply people watched or remembered it.

I wonder if the movie would have worked if Truman was a woman.

That's also possible. It could be an isolated world where internet never existed

They could make it to where it's a show "in the 80s." So he is never aware that he lives in 2023. That'd be cool.

You can find examples of them in the past, like An American Family in 1973.
COPS started airing 1989.
What made them popular was most likely The Real World from 1992.
