What We Know About Ghost’s New Movie
Earlier this month, Ghost officially confirmed that Rite Here, Rite Now will be the name of their new film. It will reportedly receive a worldwide theatrical release, but will only screen over two days (June 20-22), so you’ll want to make sure you get your schedule cleared and your tickets purchased.
News of Ghost’s film plans broke last fall when Metal Hammer asked the band about their plans for their recorded shows in Los Angeles. Tobias Forge revealed “We were essentially shooting a film and we used two nights of crowds as extras…It’s going to be a film with a concert element. So a lot of what you experienced [at the two LA shows] is going to be part of this project.” Forge has also likened the film to Metallica’s Through the Never movie, which contained an actual story with the concert footage combined.
In April, a teaser trailer was issued (as seen below). While the site of Forge onstage should come as much of a surprise, there was a quick flash of a woman standing in front of a set of stairs that go down to a subway platform that seemed to capture the attention of viewers.
As pointed out in the comments, the scene owes a nod to the 1973 horror classic The Exorcist. In the movie, the priest who performs the exorcism, Father Karras, has a dream where he calls out to his mother, and frantically runs toward her as she descends back down the stairs. The sign behind her is the same as the one seen in the Ghost clip.
Directed by Alex Ross Perry and Tobias Forge, Rite Here Rite Now will star Ghost, of course, as well as Maralyn Facey, Alan Ursillo, Ashley McBride and Kevin “Jesus” Kaufmann.
