“I hope this is the beginning of us being able to do more long-form. We can tell stories at all different lengths for all different types of consumers,” Pizzi said. “Dead Hot” also moves Bunim-Murray back into film, a platform it has dabbled in the past, including 2003’s “The Real Cancun.” It’s a lot about female empowerment.”įor Bunim-Murray - the shingle behind “The Real World,” “Road Rules,” “The Challenge,” “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” and Lizzo’s Emmy-winning “Watch Out for the Big Grrrls” - the project brings the company into a different genre with its spiritual subject matter. “It’s so emotionally raw that it really created such a beautiful narrative. “It’s entertainment first, but there’s a real, personal, spiritual journey that they both have together,” Pizzi added. (According to Pizzi, one day they both showed up in sweatshirts that said “I’m A Witch.” And another day, they wore matching jackets that said “Creepers.”) The executive said the best way to describe the film is “The Craft” meets “The Simple Life,” noting the antics that Hudgens and Magree get into together. It’s a lot about self love, and them finding their inner strength and power.”
It’s an exploration in the spiritual realm. “As we got to know them, we realized that their curiosity in connecting with the spirit realm and paranormal and supernatural exploration was so much deeper than ghost hunting. But as cameras were rolling and the two women were on their journey, they realized they wanted to produce something more spiritual. Initial conversations with Hudgens and Magree revolved around doing a ghost hunting show. “They’ve been doing little spells since they were kids, and they were just really interested in that world,” said Julie Pizzi, president of Bunim-Murray Productions. That’s when the best friends set out on a pilgrimage to Salem for a masterclass in witchcraft - and brought the cameras along to chronicle their journey. After an experience in Northern California somehow went awry, they realized they needed to seek out proper mentorship and training.
Both Hudgens and Magree are self-taught students of witchcraft, who have been experimenting and connecting with the spirit world for much of their lives.
