SCI FI Running With Money SCI FI Channel has green-lighted the reality competition pilot Run for Money, based on a successful Japanese game show, the network announced. Production is set to begin in January on the series, which pits a group of contestants against each other in the quest for cash prizes, while being stalked by relentless "hunters." The action takes place over 60 minutes of real time in various landmark locations. As the clock winds down, the competition gets harder as more hunters appear on the streets, the game perimeter gets smaller and tasks are assigned that test fraying nerves. Contestants earn money for every second they "stay alive" and may opt out at their choosing. If they keep playing and are overrun by a hunter, they lose everything. The last person standing takes the prize. "Run For Money is a fun, fast-paced thriller of a show," said Mark Stern, SCI FI's executive vice president of original programming. "[It] fits nicely with our reality agenda of putting ordinary people in wild, extraordinary situations. It's high-adrenaline fun, part sport, part real-life video game." Yahoo!
