"LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Dick Clark is looking to bring the sport of paintball to television.
Dick Clark Prods. has acquired the broadcast rights to Professional League Paintball, the first organized professional league in paintball, consisting of eight teams from such major cities as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
Additionally, Dick Clark Prods. is developing a celebrity paintball-themed reality show. Both projects are expected to be taken to the networks shortly.
"We are pleased to be at the forefront in producing what has become the fastest-growing leisure sport activity in the world," Clark said. "We look forward to taking the tiger by the tail and moving this marketing phenomenon to the next level -- television."
PLP, currently in its first season, features five-player teams that compete against each other by moving a flag toward the opponent's goal and eliminating players from the opposite team by marking them with paint."
