Cineflix Rights has acquired the worldwide rights to the new format "Tempting Fortune" from Voltage TV, which has been commissioned by Channel 4 for the UK and Roku for North America. The format and first season will be launched to international buyers at this year’s London Screenings.
“Internationally successful formats which return season after season are what every distributor looks for, and Tempting Fortune has that potential," Richard Life, Head of Acquisitions, Cineflix Rights said. "It’s a totally authentic social experiment which taps into the dilemmas that confront us all, wherever we live around the world, in a highly entertaining format with scale, impact, and mischief.”
in "Tempting Fortune," twelve strangers are dropped in the heart of a vast, remote wilderness with a cash prize awaiting them. To keep the money, all they have to do is reach a designated finish line some 21-days trekking away without spending it. As they make their way across terrain they’ll be met with tantalising and enticing temptations. Each time someone caves, the cost will be removed from their shared prize pot.
“Tempting Fortune is a fascinating social experiment about willpower and self-restraint which asks questions around what we value the most in life—and how far we’re prepared to go, how much we’re prepared to spend, when we’re faced with the things we most want but at the world’s highest prices. We are thrilled to have Cineflix Rights distributing the series to the international market," Sanjay Singhal, CEO, Voltage TV said.
