BARCELONA, Spain — Private Media Group Inc. (Nasdaq: PRVT) a worldwide leader in premium-quality adult entertainment products, services and Internet content today announced the scheduled launch of its first ever reality show for television, “Private Stars.”
The ten episode TV series, co-produced with UK indie Giant Film & TV, “Private Stars” offers a unique view into the real lives of porn stars, and those who think they have what it takes to make it in the porn industry. Chosen from hundreds of eager men, five ordinary guys are given the opportunity to see if they can fulfill their dream of starring in adult films.
The five male newcomers are joined by five established female adult film stars in a specially prepared house, under 24 hour surveillance, with cameras capturing every thought, word and deed. In each episode, the performance,personality and action of every newcomer will be assessed by the film’s director and their female co-stars. Each day, the guys are put to the test, having to perform in a variety of scenes on the set of movie production. The end of every day sees the newcomers every flaw and failure being discussed in detail, and thereafter some are lucky enough to be saved by the director and one of the newcomers is evicted from the house. In the end the winner is given the opportunity to star in one of Private’s blockbuster movies.
The 10 x 30 minutes series will premiere in the UK on men’s entertainment channel Bravo from August 16th. Berth Milton, President and CEO of Private Media Group, Inc. said, “The reality show format is a proven formula in today’s television landscape. While this type of formula often features strong elements of sex, Private Stars is the real thing and will attract significant audience attention through its upfront presentation of the subject that is ultimately the biggest interest generator in reality TV.”
“This is another example of Private’s innovative efforts to expand its product portfolio, with such a prestigious channel airing the world premiere of Private Stars, we believe that this will lead to many additional broadcasting opportunities for this successful format,” Mr. Milton concluded.
Brendan Courtney, Executive Producer at Giant Film & TV commented, “We are delighted to be co-producing “Private Stars” with Private Media Group for Bravo in the UK. This is our first series for Bravo in a line of exciting commissions.”
