Rosario Dawson and Tony Revolori To Star in The Animated Sci-Fi Series GHOSTS OF RUIN
Rosario Dawson (Ahsoka) and Tony Revolori (Spiderman: Homecoming) are set to star alongside each other in an upcoming animated sci-fi series titled Ghosts of Ruin.
The story is set in the near-future tech dystopia of San Francisco, “Ghosts of Ruin is a genre-bending animated series where virtual reality has evolved into Neural Reality, creating a world where video games have been synced directly into players’ minds and are indistinguishable from real life.”
The show follows “a group of gamers on their journey into the world’s first neural reality battle royal tournament game called ‘Ruin.’ However, a rogue program emerges to turn their paradise into a living nightmare.”
Revolori will voice Lee, the series hero, a “small-time gamer, and streamer who finds himself in the tournament after a last-minute vacancy.” Dawson will voice Prism, “a standoffish pro gamer with one goal: to be the world’s undisputed champion.”
This sounds like it could be a cool series and it was created by PJ Accetturo and Ryan Ramsey. The show will also feature an original score composed by Hans Zimmer’s Bleeding Fingers Music.
Gala Film CEO Sarah Buxton said in a statement: “It was important for us to support this project. We believe in the genre, the team’s approach and the series is a perfect melding of timely storytelling with top-tier artistic talent. Our capabilities in Web3, along with our latest platform technology, will provide a more rewarding experience for the creators and the anime fans through digital ownership, rewards and immersive opportunities.”
Showrunner Michael Ryan added: “Rosario Dawson and Tony Revolori are such talented creatives and their dynamic performances will bring depth and authenticity to the complex characters of our dystopian sci-fi-world. Partnering with Gala Film and Hans Zimmer’s Bleeding Fingers Music, Ghosts of Ruin will truly be a unique and immersive experience that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats as the series explores the insidious intrigue of a near-future world.”
Ghosts of Ruin will debut in August on the Gala Film website, the film and TV division of Web3 company Gala. There are no streaming service companies attached to the project yet, but Battle Island plans to shop the project to other platforms for a wider release.
