This is a reply to Chan...see my link above:
Update from the official On the Lot boards: it appears that this show is circling the drain.
Rumours on imdb that it has already been cancelled. This may well be the case as the movies they are showing were all made weeks ago as part of the selection process. If their submission video was accepted, they were then asked to make and submit a 3 minute short in 5 days on their own dime (allegedly). So the contestants are basically sitting around doing nothing for the next couple of weeks with no production budget, hoping their 3 minute movie that they thought would never be seen is good enough to get them through. Poor bastards.
My bad it wasn't the audition tape it was the 2nd film if they made the initial tape...they are doing nothing for three weeks...bc the producers don't want to spend $...I read my TV guide for NEXT week and it still had that 14 contestants were going to COMPETE against each other ON MONDAY at * (actually Hell's Kitchen first show will repeat then) and a 30 minute results show on TUES at 8pm (actually tues is the "film" show of the 2nd five)
This is truly pathetic
GO KENJAYA!!! why would you want Zach who has talent to win this?
