Ghost have officially announced their new film “Rite Here Rite Now.” Trafalgar Releasing will be screening the movie in theaters worldwide on June 20 and 22 and it will feature footage from the band’s 2023 shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, CA as well as a narrative story containing “plot threads from the band’s long-running webisode series.”
Frontman Tobias Forge commented:
“Over a decade ago when Ghost got signed to Loma Vista, Tom Whalley [owner and CEO] asked what the story of the band was. He felt telling a story was vital in order to get new fans engaged. I said that because we were a new ‘baby’ band and more importantly we were an anonymous baby band, there wasn’t really a compelling story to tell. Not yet anyway. But I told him that if he wanted a story, I could come up with one. This film is the fruit of that conversation.”
Director Alex Ross Perry continued:
“Collaborating with Tobias to expand the saga of Ghost into a feature film has been a wicked delight. This movie allowed us to be inspired by everything from silent horror to ‘The Great Rock n’ Roll Swindle,’ from Ralph Bakshi to KISS ‘Alive II.’ The influences were many, but above all, the ultimate goal was to make a one-of-a-kind feast not only for Ghost fans, but all lovers of the cinematic alchemy between rock spectacle and spooky delights.”
Kymberli Frueh, SVP of Programming and Content Acquisitions at Trafalgar Releasing, added:
“The mystery, mystique, and musical style of Ghost has created such a dedicated allegiance to the band. Our cinemas provide the perfect immersive experience to unite fans as a community and experience Ghost’s elaborate performances with big screens and big sound.”
Worldwide screening details and ticket links will be revealed on May 9 via ritehereritenow.com at 2 p.m. BST / 9 a.m. EDT / 6 a.m. PDT. An official trailer will drop that day as well.
