Patrick Warburton To Co-Host Pilot For Movie Memorabilia Docuseries Based On Feature Doc ‘Mad Props’

EXCLUSIVE: Ted and Seinfeld actor Patrick Warburton is to co-host the pilot for a movie props docuseries from Tom Biolchini and Juana Pablo Reinoso.

The actor has signed on after producer Keli Price of Price Productions negotiated a deal with Gersh, Warburton’s agents. Shooting is se to take place in the UK and other parts of the world.

The series, which is being independently funded and doesn’t yet have a network or streamer attached, is inspired by a feature doc of the same name from director Reinoso and Biolchini, who will co-host the show with Warburton. Reinoso is directing the pilot.

The series is centered around the multi-day auction at Propstore of London, annual event in which thousands of TV and film props are put up for sale. Warburton and Biolchini will travel to meet collectors on their journeys to sell or buy particular on-screen memorabilia.

They will also meet stars who handled the props, and the creatives and artists behind their creation, who share stories of the universal nostalgia behind the movies and the increasing value of items.

Executive producers are Price, Reinoso, Biolchini, Warburton, David Bond and John Moss. Price will executive produce under his Price Productions banner, Reinoso and Moss will do the same for Firebook Entertainment and Bond for Dark Elegy Films.

As we reported at the time, Price Productions wrapped shooting on the Mad Props feature in February. The doc saw appearances from the likes of iconic actors Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Lance Henriksen (Aliens) and Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler). It set out to turn the conventional art world on its head, proving to historians and critics alike that movie props are as important an art form as the greatest paintings and sculptures in history.
