Michael Douglas Movie “The Game” Becomes Reality

Who here saw the David Fincher-directed movie “The Game”? It starred Michael Douglas as a rich executive who unwittingly participates in a live action game involving mystery, danger and murder? It turns out that there’s a company in real life that now offers a similar service. Brock Enright is a New York City artist and founder of Video and Adventure Services, who specialize in everything from corporate kidnapping to stalking to “creative weight loss” (locking up a client in a basement for 4 weeks with only an exercise bike). They cater to the client’s phobias and fantasies, and bring them to life using actors and exotic locales. It started as an art project but has become quite a lucrative business, charging $1500 for each “reality adventure”. Apparently they have had quite a few celebrity clients as well. Click below to read an article about this phenomenon, it’s pretty crazy. But as Enright himself says, “It doesn’t seem strange to me any more. There’s other weird shit in the world. Why does someone want to do heroin? Why the hell would people want to go to church? I’m not in any position to judge these people or answer those questions.”
