Bank of Hollywood
There were reports and tweets yesterday about Ryan being present as Executive Producer for filming of a pilot episode of a new E! show called Bank of Hollywood.
The New York Post claims the show’s judges will be Sean Patterson, president of Wilhelmina Models, and Candy Spelling — they weren’t able to get confirmation of this from RSP.
A few people tweeted to say they were at the pilot:
Only1LadyShay: Awwww shit Ryan Seacrest just walked in!!! Exec Producer of this new pilot show “Bank of Hollywood”
Jessica_Luckey: i’m at the bank of hollywood with Ryan Seacrest, this show is intensee!! hurrah!
Liquess: @RyanSeacrest. At “bank of Hollywood” right now. It’s such a great show, I’m having so much fun!
Details are sketchy at the moment but it sounds as though contestants pitch a business idea they believe could make money to the judges with the aim of securing funding though we’ve not come across any information or speculation yet on the angle that makes this different to similar shows.
There has been some suggestion that this could be Chance repackaged. It seems there are similarities as both involve a contestant pitching for funding, but the premise of Chance seemed to be making dreams come true rather than funding ways to make money (though some dreams no doubt involve making money!)
Hopefully some information will be available soon.
