Shark Tanks Casting Call
Mark Burnett has signed a deal with Sony Pictures Television to bring the wildly successful Dragons Den to the American market. Dragon’s Den is a Japanese show in which entrepreneurs pitch to the “Dragons” (investors) their business, trying to convince the dragons to invest so they can move their business forward. Dragon’s den also airs in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Netherlands, Finland and Lebanon. The US version will be titled The Shark Tank, ABC has ordered a pilot which will be produced by Sony. There is been no announcement of who the dragons will be or when the show will air.
“It’s about seeing people squirm, either in their unpreparedness or their lies,” Burnett told Variety. “the show plays a bit like the early rounds of American Idol. People come in with an idea they think is brilliant, and it’s awful. But then you get the truly inspired ideas, and the Sharks have a chance to fight it out.”
“If you’re coming in desperate for money, it’s like there’s blood in the water,” Burnett told Variety. “If you want to be a great entrepreneur in the U.S., you had better be ready to swim in shark-infested waters.”
