Samsung’s new Android phone the Galaxy S will be promoted with what NBC Universal calls “the world’s first globally distributed web series.”
Definitions of “globally distributed” are grounds for debate, but there’s little argument that the series will be viewable in an unprecedented array of platforms and regions. Called FCU: Fact Checkers Unit, the series is based on the short film of the same name that appeared at Sundance in 2008.
The series will follow two zealous fact checkers for the magazine Dictum; in each episode they will attempt to verify a fact about some celebrity the magazine is covering. For example, they must determine in the first episode whether or not 90210’s Luke Perry really believes his house is haunted by ghosts.
Each of the eight episodes in the series’ current order will feature some celebrity. The celebs named so far include the aforementioned Luke Perry, Jeopardy’s Alex Trebek, legendary rock guitarist Dave Navarro, model Karolina Kurkova , Scrubs‘ Donald Faison, NCIS‘ Pauley Perrette, Friday Night Lights‘ Zach Gilford, and Napoleon Dynamite himself, Jon Heder.
The Samsung Galaxy S features prominently in the show. For example, it’s used to record a bedroom overnight in the first episode to document potential paranormal activity.
