The Phone

The series, which is based on a Dutch reality show format, begins each episode with two hidden cell phones ringing at opposite ends of a major city.

Contestants who answer the phones will have five seconds to decide if they want to play along for a cash prize, and a guide on the other end of the line then gives contestants a mission to complete before time runs out.

As they race through the city on their adventure, a helicopter tracks their every move. MTV described the show as a wild and cinematic ride reminiscent of such films as The Bourne Identity.

"Genre-busting and reinvention is at the core of what we do, and The Phone does just that," Tony Disanto, MTV executive vice-president of programming and series development, said in a statement.

"Each week will be an action-packed mini-movie," he said. (24 Hours Vancouver)

PAULO IS EXCITED!!! Guess who's hosting it? And what happens when people pretend to be a part of the production team and gets random people to do random shit with no actual prize? Ooooh... chaos. Check out the Dutch site. That PNAU song is the only one that makes me mosh in my room. Mosh w/o violence, of course.
