MySpace made Dane Cook famous. And although it didn’t really make him funny, it did get his name out. That’s what DJ Qualls is hoping. Mostly known for his role on “Road Trip,” as the skinny kid who hooked up with a big woman, and “The New Guy,” Qualls stars in the web series “Circle of Eight,” which is being played exclusively on MySpace.
The series, a ten-parter that runs about 6-8 minutes in length, is an interactive trivia game that posts clues throughout each episode. There are about 70 questions in each episode so viewers must pay close attention to everything on the show.
The synopsis is this:
Jessica, a newcomer to the City of Angels, has just moved into a loft on the eighth floor of The Dante, a historic and eerie downtown building filled with friendly twenty-something neighbors who eagerly welcome her into their bohemian world. Or do they?
As Jessica races to unravel the mystery behind a chain of horrifying deaths that only she seems to see, she’ll come face-to-face with the chilling truth behind her connection to The Dante. Join her and her hot neighbor, Evan, in ten intense episodes that offer multiple levels of interaction, including hidden clues, mobile content, an online game and exclusive material that builds the back story of the characters and their relationships and gives the audience the chance to affect their futures.
Currently, the series is in its 6th episode. The link is http://www.myspace.com/circleof8 and new shows launch every Tuesday. And if that’s not awesome enough, the full length film will be released on DVD next month.
