Ghost announced last Wednesday, June 1st, its first feature film. Titled Rite Here Rite Now , the film is scheduled for worldwide theatrical release on June 20th and 22nd.
Directed by Alex Ross Perry ( Her Smell ) and Ghost's mastermind, Tobias Forge , the film brings together footage from the band's two sold-out shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles in 2023 and follows the storylines of Ghost's long-running Chapters series.
The Swedish band released the film's teaser in early April . Now, a new press release describes the film as a pseudo-narrative-concert that “fully immerses viewers in the colorful melodrama of the much-vaunted live ritual” that is Ghost.
When Ghost signed with Loma Vista , owner and CEO Tom Whalley asked what the band's story was, and, according to Tobias Forge in a press release: [transcription via Consequence ] “He felt that telling a story was vital to engaging new fans. I said this because we were a new band and, more importantly, we were a band of unknowns, there wasn't really a compelling story to tell. Not yet, anyway. But I told him that if he wanted a story, I could invent one. This film is the result of that conversation.”
Trafalgar Releasing, which has previously worked with Metallica , will handle the theatrical distribution of Rite Here Rite Now . The full trailer and tickets will be available next Thursday, May 9th, along with worldwide screening details and ticket links. You can follow the updates on this website .
