Truman Show Delusion

So, apparently real, actual people that live in this same world as you and I suffer from something called "Truman Show Delusion."  Sufferers think they are secretly being filmed and that everyone in their lives are actors; much like the events in the Jim Carrey film The Truman Show in which he was selected at birth to be the unknowing "star" of a reality show. Psychiatrists Joel and Ian Gold coined the term "Truman Show Delusion" back in 2008 and have documented 5 cases of this strange mental disorder, with several other cases making news around the world.

The most recent case involves Nicholas Marzano, a man from Illinois who is suing HBO on claims that the network is filming him without his consent using hidden cameras installed in his home and car.  Oh, and he says that pretty much the entire town is in on the show, and HBO is preventing him from getting a job and money.  Right.  But watch out, since the Golds think the rise of technology will give rise to more "Truman Show Delusions."  Read more about the individual cases at Buzzfeed.

Players

From Vulture:

Actor turned producer Tom Hanks is now at work on his second HBO project, a half-hour comedy about college athletes to be titled Players, reports the Hollywood Reporter. This comes mere months after Hanks and his partner Gary Goetzman came onboard to produce HBO's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's 2001 novel American Gods. Now that's a partnership we can sign off on. [THR]

What's next for Tom Hanks?

With Tom Hanks' latest film, Larry Crowne, premiering July 1st of this  year, what's next for the superstar?  Hanks and his Playtone production company are working on an HBO series based on the Neil Gaiman novel American Gods and even a movie version of the Broadway version of Green Day's American Idiot.  They're also in talks with past collaborator Robert Zemeckis to direct Major Matt Mason, a live action 3D film based on the Mattel action figure, which will be the next project for Playtone and Hanks.
