Original Xbox Live show after actors News • News • Eurogamer.net

Girl in Bikini must "look great in bikini".

Hollywood writer James Gunn (Dawn of the Dead, Slither) has begun the hunt for a group of actors to star in original content for Xbox Live Video Store.

The show is described on casting site Actors Access as the "wacky adventures of a group of friends", according to G4.

Among the parts to be filled is "Girl in Bikini", who must be "super-hot, good with comedy" and "must look great in bikini".

Filming is set to begin in May, apparently, with the first batch of content expected on Xbox Live Video Store this summer.

Microsoft teamed up with Hollywood producer Peter Safran in late March. The idea was to create six short-length pieces of original content covering comedy, horror and science-fiction genres.

The "young-male" Xbox audience was described as the perfect demographical match for what Safran had in mind, and money is to be made from advertising and electronic distribution.

I admit this may sound a bit silly this side of the ocean, but many TV shows in US are now available on Xbox Live.

I've seen a lot in the credits of many shows the lines "available in Apple iTunes and Xbox Live"

Miiiguel, this is for original shows that will only be broadcast on Xbox Live, rather than existing shows available to download and watch.

This is what you get when a giant faceless corporation tries to manufacture personality and quirkiness.

I know that Andy, was just stating that XBox Live in US is much bigger than in Europe. They are using the lexic Live almost as "normies" use PlayStation here in the old land, widespread-wise.

bet Bill has an impressive collection. ^^

never really understood why its deemed fine to air what amounts to 'Snuff' on Prime time TV in the States - police shootouts, car chases/crashes with fatalities, footage from bombs strapped with cameras - but show a little Titty...
...and its the apocalypse. :/

Girl in Bikini must "look great in bikini"
- can you just imagine the horrors they would have to sift through if they had left the ad like:
'Non gender specific person wearing bikini, all sizes welcome'
/shudder.

Yeah the US is peculiar about sex...

Paul Verhoven once said:

"Show a titty in a movie and it gets rated 18, shoot the titty and it gets a 15"
