Margot Robbie, Mark Ruffalo, Daisy Ridley and Omar Sy are among some of the high-profile acting talent attached to projects selected for Venice Immersive, the XR – Extended Reality section of the 83rd Venice Intl. Film Festival.
Other leading names associated with the projects include actresses Kathleen Turner and Isabelle Huppert, actor-director Andy Serkis and composer A. R. Rahman.
The section, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, is “focused on the next wave of immersive art and storytelling,” according to the festival.
Among the highlights are “Nevatars,” directed by Serkis, and voiced by Ridley and Turner, and “Galapagos: The Last Eden,” directed by Anthony Geffen, and voiced by Robbie.
These two projects are “experienced on never previously seen next generation smart glass devices,” which “mark a significant evolution in the possibilities of immersive storytelling,” the festival said.
