Watch Them Die Live!! The WWE Kills for a Buck

On April 27, 2007 WWE Films will release a movie called The Condemned. The movie's story goes like this:

"An adrenalin-charged action thriller, "The Condemned" tells the story of Jack Conrad, who is awaiting the death penalty in a corrupt Central American prison. He is "purchased" by a wealthy television producer and taken to a desolate island where he must fight to the death against nine other condemned killers from all corners of the world, with freedom going to the sole survivor"

The hook?

These 10 people are all on death row in prisons around the world, and instead of the state killing them, they sell them to a television producer that puts them on an isolated island to kill one another. The island is full of cameras and all the action is televised online.

An interesting concept. DSM would like to see how the audience for the show within the movie is portrayed. Generally, the audience will flock toward the show and it will be popular, although I know the movie's focus will mainly be on the prisoners and especially the main character, Conrad, played by WWE Superstar Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Promoters of make-believe violence, the WWE is always popular with young males and with their new movie studios have extended the violence into their movies.

These videos found on Revver and on the movie's official home page (WatchThemDieLive.com) show clips of people getting killed. They are teasers for the movie and represent the mindless curiosity in death Internet audiences might have.
