The trailer for “Galapagos: The Last Eden,” an immersive experience narrated by Margot Robbie, has been unveiled ahead of the project’s premiere in the Venice Film Festival‘s Immersive strand.
Produced by Anthony Geffen and from Atlantic Studios, the production hails from the U.K. and is presented in English.
“‘Galapagos: The Last Eden’ brings the audience a new kind of an immersive storytelling,” Geffen said. “We use a new kind of 3-D camera technology and shooting techniques to capture Galapagos in a totally new way.”
The experience lets viewers reach out and interact with what they are seeing, following the volcanic activity that formed the islands as well as the evolution and behavior of its animal life. New technology also allows users to personalize the journey by holding a conversation with Charles Darwin, drawn from his own experiences of the archipelago.
The project also foregrounds conservation. Geffen noted that the experience shows the science and conservation work carried out on the islands, work he said is essential given the toll El Niño is set to take on the islands this year. He added that Robbie was cast as narrator because of her personal connection to the islands and her enthusiasm for the format.
