what in the
"I bet Eli Roth's fingers are a blur on the keyboard already"
would totally pay to see OTT battle royale/most dangerous game movie starring ja rule and a pack of feral dogs chasing a thousand rich twits through the jungle.

Cristina Gibson, from Bravo’s Montauk-based reality show Summer House, was one of the lucky ones. She was stranded in Miami, not marooned in the Bahamas.A friend of Gibson's, like many others, booked a spot when the festival was announced in December. “I've been to festivals before,” she reasoned, phoning from South Beach. “I’ve gone to Coachella for years; I’ve gone to Governor’s Ball here in New York. So it’s not like I’m completely naive and had no idea. We checked out the Web site and thought, ‘Oh, this seems spontaneous. This looks fun. The video looks great.’ ”

I can say I was intrigued and reached out for RS in January. I asked what the capacity of the festival was and a publicist replied that it was 10,000(!) which is like 6,500 more than an ATP. I asked if I could get an interview with Ja Rule about it – he hadn't done any, I don't know if he ever did – and they said they didn't know who would be doing interviews and would circle back. They never circled back.
I did think it was weird that they were launching this very bespoke music festival and didn't want to talk to Rolling Stone about it.
That was the last I thought about it, so we didn't send anyone.

I know every failure sounds like a Trump venture in 2017 but this whole "we're going to have the best festival" followed by the actual work part being passed off to an underqualified employee (or not addressed at all) as you take pictures with supermodels advertising the best festival ever...

I got an email from a publicist in January after the Kendall Jenner thing. I'm looking back at my emails now.
First thing I did was fwd to three coworkers with "This festival is insane"
Second email from me to two coworkers:
The more I research this, the more insane it gets…Apparently this is the brainchild of Ja Rule?Also, the pub told me cap is 10,000. They’re going to fly TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE to an islandTrying to get a Rule interview because this is the best/stupidest thing I’m fully convinced there’s no way they can actually pull this off….
