Variety reports that the San Francisco-based Twitter has partnered with Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment to develop an unscripted TV series described as "putting ordinary people on the trail of celebrities in a revolutionary competitive format."
The project was announced with few details Monday by Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment. The series concept was created by novelist/screenwriter Amy Ephron, who will executive produce with Kevin Foxe and Steve Latham, Reveille's Mark Koops and Howard T. Owens, Brillstein's Jon Liebman and Lee Kernis.
"We've found a compelling way to bring the immediacy of Twitter to life on TV," Liebman said.

Ashton Kutcher doesn't like the idea.
Don't really care what the guy does but hey, if he can prevent a stupid idea from happening I'm all for it!

His wife, actress Demi Moore, also threatened to shut down her Twitter account, which has more than 1 million followers
