More About Ghosts of Ruin
In an alternate (or near-future) San Francisco, overrun by technology, Ghosts of Ruin unfolds. The Tournament of Ruin introduces a cutting-edge technology called Neural Reality, providing a fully immersive experience. Lee (Revolori), our protagonist, earns a spot in this upcoming battle royale due to his exceptional gaming skills. However, the game harbors a clandestine and ominous force, relentlessly pursuing each player. Dawson, who will also portray Ahsoka in August, takes on the role of Prism, a skilled gunslinger in the virtual world, and becomes one of Lee's fellow competitors.
At SDCC, Ghosts of Ruin showcased their latest footage, featuring a character teaser for Dawson's Prism. The teaser introduces her gamer persona, known for her no-nonsense attitude. She is seen engrossed in the game, honing her skills in the immersive Neural Reality. Faced with a relentless onslaught of rovers, the menacing dog-like creatures that every character must battle, she fearlessly fights back. Accompanied by a haunting electronic rendition of James Donald Davies' "Under Your Skin," the flashing images create an eerie ambiance, offering a glimpse into the haunted world that envelops the characters.
In addition to Revolori and Dawson, the Ghosts of Ruin cast also includes Juggernaut, voiced by AleXa, and Assassin, played by Michael Longfellow. Justin Long portrays the enigmatic Marcus. However, what sets this project apart is that, while the characters have the game directly synced into their minds, viewers have the power to influence their fate through the purchase of "badges" on the Ghosts of Ruin website. Composers Giovoni Rios, Hendric Beunk, and Russell Emanuel from Hans Zimmer’s Bleeding Fingers Music have also created an impactful score. Ghosts of Ruin will premiere in August on the Gala Film website.
