IMDb profile

EDtv is a movie directed by Ron Howard released in 1999.

It stars Matthew McConaughey, Jenna Elfman, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Hurley, Ellen DeGeneres, Martin Landau, Rob Reiner, Sally Kirkland, Clint Howard and Dennis Hopper.

It is an adaptation of the locally successful Quebecois movie Louis 19, le roi des ondes, released in 1994.

Its plot has been called superficially similar to that of The Truman Show, especially since the two hit theatres nearly around the same time. The differences come from the fact that unlike Truman, Ed (McConaughey) has knowledge and has given consent that his life is a reality television show.
