Rogue Initiative, Emblematic Form Virtual Reality Content Agreement
Los Angeles-based digital entertainment startup Rogue Initiative has entered into a film, TV and immersive content development partnership with virtual, augmented and mixed reality content developer Emblematic Group.
The companies report that there are two productions in active development: Joan of Arc, which, "told as a political thriller, will embody her strength through a distinctly female perspective in a combined linear television and VR episodic format"; and Trashed aka Rock and Roll Hotel, a VR experience set to classic rock songs and hosted by a "legendary musician," which would "allow viewers to relive real-life instances of famous hotel room trashings and participate in the destruction."
An additional four to six joint projects are planned as part of the agreement.
Founded in 2015, Rogue is additionally developing VR content through a partnership with Michael Bay.
