Ghost's massively popular film Rite Here Rite Now originally got a soundtrack-only release on physical and digital formats. Now the whole film is coming to your home theater on DVD, BluRay, 4K and VHS (yes, VHS) formats come December 6. Pre-orders are available here – I'm willing to bet the VHS format goes first, as it's a fun collector's item.
Rite Here Rite Now combines never-before-seen 2023 concert footage from Ghost's two sold-out shows at Los Angeles' Kia Forum, with a narrative story that picks up plot threads from the band's long-running Chapters series. Rite Here Rite Now was directed by Ghost's Tobias Forge and Alex Ross Perry.
"Over a decade ago when Ghost got signed to Loma Vista, Tom Whalley (owner and CEO) asked what the story of the band was," said Forge.
"He felt telling a story was vital in order to get new fans engaged. I said that because we were a new 'baby' band and more importantly we were an ANONYMOUS baby band, there wasn't really a compelling story to tell. Not yet anyway. But I told him that if he wanted a story, I could come up with one. This film is the fruit of that conversation."
Perry added: "Collaborating with Tobias to expand the saga of Ghost into a feature film has been a wicked delight. This movie allowed us to be inspired by everything from silent horror to The Great Rock n' Roll Swindle, from Ralph Bakshi to KISS Alive II. The influences were many, but above all, the ultimate goal was to make a one-of-a-kind feast not only for Ghost fans, but all lovers of the cinematic alchemy between rock spectacle and spooky delights."
Rite Here Rite Now was produced by Popecorn Cinematic Pictures. Producers include Kristen Mulderig, Rick Sales, Craig Butta, and Jonas Åkerlund.
