Very interesting 'disturbing' footage. Documents some of Cathy O'briens story
requires quicktime

Originally created for executives at one of the largest and most respected US cable networks, GNN's trailer for The Most Dangerous Game developed
into of cult hit all on its own. With its uncannily mysterious protagonists and controversial subject matter, the film looked like a good bet for a
late night slot in the powerful documentary division. Especially after the network invested cash and sent some its top producers down to Tennessee to
shoot the riveting medical examination that was to form the basis for the film's climax.
However, after reviewing the trailer and holding several discussions about the film's potential, GNN was told that the feature would not be financed
. The reason? The subject matter was too marginal in interest for the network's core audience. Not an unrealistic conclusion. Ironically, after the
network passed on the deal to develop the content into a feature film, the trailer began to circulate discreetly, among industry insiders, many of
whom have commented on the high level of intrigue that is created by the trailer itself.
This page features most of the assets that were generated for the network pitch. Included among them are the original treatment written for the
project as well as the interviews with both Cathy O'Brien and Mark Phillips, who authored TranceFormation of America, a cult hit amongst the
conspiracy set. We recommend that viewers read the treatment before watching any of the video clips, as it will fill in much of what is not covered
there. The interview with Dr. Colin Ross may also be of interest for those who want to delve deeper into the subject of Dissociative Identity Disorder
and the viability of Cathy's claims. He is considered America's foremost expert in that realm.
GNN has put this project on hold for now. But regardless of whether the film project goes any further, it will be developed into a text-based story
revolving around director Stephen Marshall's experiences researching the story and going on the road with Mark and Cathy.
