Mrdukey Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Did anyone see the first episode of this yet? Derren Brown sets up an apocalyptic scenario for a 21 year old slacker. The first of a two-part show, Apocalypse unleashes Derren Brown's most audacious plan yet - to convince one person that the planet has been devastated by a catastrophic meteorite strike, that lethal infected now roam the land and he is one of a mere handful of survivors. Our 'survivor' is someone who takes life for granted, and has yet to truly value what he has. The adventure that awaits him is meticulously crafted to give him the ultimate wake-up call, and teach him valuable life-lessons. Will he rise to the challenge? The first episode is not so great (too much set up amongst other flaws) but I love the concept and I hope the show delivers. The guy even gets the classic 28 Days Later/Walking Dead hospital bed "wake up into the apocalypse" [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUnvhQH9LvU[/media] Edited October 29, 2012 by Mrdukey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrizzle Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 So its like a prank thing? Man, anyone else see how this could go horribly wrong? This is why they can't do whit like this in America, the streets are littered with firearms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Seemingly the guy for this is an actor. There's been a bit of a storm in a teacup over this over here about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 It would be nigh-impossible to get something like this to work, I'm not buying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The dude is an illusionaist and apparently a hypnotist too. It does sound interesting and fun to watch, but I dunno how real its gonna be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrdukey Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 It's ambitious to say the least. Either to genuinely convince someone the world has ended or to convince the audience that is genuine...... Here is an earlier stunt where he 'tricks' a woman into thinking she has died in a car crash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ntoix9JcDig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-59VkppgsI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alive she cried Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Turns out the only reason he survived the apocalypse is that he can withstand massive amounts of radiation, so much so that he now emits radiation at a level similar to that of a modern microwave. Yes, that is him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
