Kate Winslet, Daisy Ridley, Jennifer Hudson, and Glenn Close have really embraced the growing virtual reality trend - and their new \"immersive experience\" is about to hit headsets.<\/p>\n
Baba Yaga, written and directed by Baobab Studios co-founder Eric Darnell and co-directed by Mathias Chelebourg, features an all-female cast and allows viewers to decide how the story will end.<\/p>\n
In a statement, Baba Yaga's creators share: \"The VR immersive experience is a contemporary portrayal of the Eastern European legend breathed to life with illustrative 2D pop-up animation, as well as hand-drawn and stop-motion styles, creating a modern visual language for VR inspired by classic animation.\"<\/p>\n
The venture's producers, who include Hudson, add the film incorporates \"a haunting fairytale world completely reimagined where your choices determine the ending of this story of love, fortitude, and magic\".<\/p>\n
The cast and creative team have partnered with United Nations chiefs to reinforce the message of the experience - which is all about climate change and sustainability - and they have also launched a Baba Yaga campaign as part of the organisation's UN ActNow app, which they hope will help inform and educate viewers.<\/p>\n
Baba Yaga debuted at the 2020 Venice Film Festival and will be available exclusively on VR platform Oculus Quest on 14 January.<\/p>\n
