Geller starred in the horror film "Sanitarium" (2001), directed by Johannes Roberts and James Eaves. In May 2002, he appeared as a contestant on the first series of the reality TV show "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!", where he was the first to be eliminated and finished in last place. In 2005, Geller starred in "Uri's Haunted Cities: Venice", a XI Pictures/Lion TV production for Sky One, which led to a behind-the-scenes release in early 2008 called "Cursed"; both productions were directed by Jason Figgis. In early 2007, Geller hosted a reality show in Israel called "The Successor" (), where the contestants supposedly displayed supernatural powers; Israeli magicians criticised the program, saying that it was all magic tricks. In July 2007, NBC signed Geller and Criss Angel for "Phenomenon", to search for the next great mentalist; contestant Mike Super won the position. In January 2008, Geller began hosting the TV show "The Next Uri Geller", broadcast by Pro7 in Germany.
