You can't actually have so many people in the real-world Truman show working as actors so you offer the residential buildings up for rent/lease at a pretty nice discount. Also you would have to offer business space up for cheap. Everyone entering has to be initially approved and they can enter/leave as they please even though most (80%) should live inside too. Next you will probably want the city to be on an island with few exits maybe one or two so you can keep the subjects of interest from leaving the premises. Why make a big Death star an Island would do just fine.

The legal team would need to be top notch. You'd be dealing with a metric ton of legal stuff on multiple fronts. You need to deal with worker safety and shit like that. You then also need to deal with the potential ethical problems and human rights violations. If anything it would make for an interesting conversation.
