Trafalgar Releasing today launched the global trailer for Ghost's debut film, Rite Here Rite Now. As previously announced, the film will premiere in cinemas worldwide on June 20 and 22 as tickets go on sale today, available here. Additional screenings may vary by territory.
Shot over the course of Ghost's two sold-out shows at Los Angeles’ hallowed Kia Forum, Rite Here Rite Now fully immerses viewers in the technicolour melodrama of the vaunted live ritual that has helped to propel Sweden’s foremost theatrical rock export to Grammy-winning, chart-topping, arena-headlining status the world over.
Rite Here Rite Now: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack will be released worldwide on July 26 via Loma Vista Recordings. A fitting 18-song complement to Ghost’s debut feature film, the band’s first ever original soundtrack will be available on all formats (digital, CD, 2xLP).
Pre-orders are live now here, and include the soundtrack’s live version of Absolution, captured at that now-legendary two-night stand at the Forum, as an instant grat track.
Rite Here Rite Now is, however, so much more than a concert movie. Ghost’s debut feature film combines live performance from the two-night finale of the band’s Re-Imperatour U.S.A. 2023 with a narrative story that picks up plot threads from the band’s long-running Chapters series. The result is an utterly unique phantasmagorical blend: Flesh and bone renditions of favourites from all five of Ghost’s albums as well as the RIAA platinum-certified Mary On A Cross and more are interwoven with the silver screen debuts of a few faces familiar to the band’s legions of fans - all interacting behind the scenes with Ghost’s Papa Emeritus IV, as his future and fate lay in the hands of the Ministry.
Whether you’re a devoted disciple looking to relive treasured memories of the Ghost live spectacle or among the curious uninitiated, Rite Here Rite Now will put you right there: putting your phones down and living in the moment - as a shadow of uncertainty looms - completely spellbound and in the thrall of this bombastic yet intimate cinematic portrait of Ghost.
Rite Here Rite Now is directed by Ghost Tobias Forge and Alex Ross Perry and is produced by Popecorn Cinematic Pictures. Producers include Kristen Mulderig, Rick Sales, Craig Butta and Jonas Åkerlund.
