Machinima Taps Tommy Wiseau, Aliens for New Video Game Series

He’s baaack! Tommy Wiseau, star of cult classic The Room, is back in a brand new online series from Studio  8.

The Tommy Wi-Show, distributed on the Machinima Network, follows Wiseau as “he is repeatedly abducted by different races of mysterious aliens and transported to distant planets, where he is forced to test popular video games. Each weekly episode has Wiseau playing a different game and delving deeper and deeper into strange, unknown areas of the universe.” Yeah, you read that right. It’s going to be awesome.

“For the past year Studio 8 been trying to make Tommy Wiseau’s dreams come true, and one of those dreams is to host his own talk show,” LaBorde told Tubefilter. “This has been an idea in our heads for a while, and The Tommy Wi-Show is the first step towards making Tommy’s dreams a reality.”

LaBorde also told us to expect to see “lots lof classic and new games, lots of aliens, and lots of screaming.”
