Simon Fuller to Launch 'Dream' Show

It's a reality show that will actually be real. And it won't be one weekly episode, shot, edited and promoted for prime time. It'll be a round-the-clock scene, the closest that media has come to creating the world of the Jim Carrey film 'The Truman Show.'

According to the Hollywood Reporter, 'American Idol' mogul Simon Fuller will launch 'If I Can Dream,' a series which follows five young people -- two actresses, one actor, a model and a musician -- hoping to make it in Hollywood. The aspiring entertainers will live together in a home in Hollywood Hills, with their experience to be streamed on MySpace, Clear Channel Radio and Hulu.It's a reality show that will actually be real.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, 'American Idol' mogul Simon Fuller will launch 'If I Can Dream,' a series which follows five young people -- two actresses, one actor, a model and a musician -- hoping to make it in Hollywood. The aspiring entertainers will live together in a home in Hollywood Hills, with their experience to be streamed on MySpace, Clear Channel Radio and Hulu.

In a first for audience interactivity, 'If I Can Dream' will encourage viewers to contact and comment on the action of the contestants through social networking tools, such as Twitter and Facebook. Contestants will be encouraged to try out new material or even one-up each other as they rise through the industry.

In a quote published by THR, Fuller called 'If I Can Dream' the "next frontier" of "authentic real-time interaction. It is time the public got to see the truth behind what it takes to launch the careers of young artists who have a dream that one day on pure merit they can be professional entertainers and gain the recognition they crave. This is the dawning of a new age."

'If I Can Dream' will be also accessible through mobile applications. Hulu, meanwhile, will run "episodes" weaving the best moments of each week together.
