A pioneer of the immersive collectables platform, Terra Virtua, has landed a new licensing agreement with Legendary Entertainment to create a line of digital collectables based on Warner Bros Pictures and Pegendary’s upcoming Godzilla vs Kong.

The new partnership will allow fans across the world to bring the titans to life in full 3D virtual reality through a platform that will allow them to experience the brute strength of Kong and the behemoth Godzilla. The Titans and other characters from the franchise will being rolling out on to the Terra Virtua marketplace in time for the film’s release this March 31st.

The collaboration between Terra Virtua and Legendary first began in 2019 with the launch of digital collectables based on Legendary Television and Netflix’s reboot of the science fiction classic Lost in Space and continued with a collection based on the blockbuster film Pacific Rim Uprising.

Terra Virtua’s marketplace includes a number of digital collectibles, featuring characters from both Season One and Season Two of Lost in Space, along with full-size and fully animated versions of Pacific Rim Uprising’s Jaegers, including Gypsy Avenger. One such Jaeger sold on New Year’s Day for $5000 and now resides in a superfan’s TerraDome, which is accessible via Terra Virtua’s app on a PC.

“Digital collectibles allow fans to interact with their favorite characters in a way never experienced before, and to be working with the pioneers in the industry is truly exciting,” said Sam Rappaport, director of Interactive Media at Legendary Entertainment.

Directed by Adam Wingard, Godzilla vs. Kong is the long-awaited face-off between these two mighty titans, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance. With spectacular fight scenes and an unforeseen force drawing them together, it’s the ultimate showdown and therefore the ideal opportunity to be  bringing these Legendary monsters into the Terra Virtua ecosystem.

“This franchise is one of the most recognizable brands in the world; these characters have been on our screens for over 88 years; so to say we’re excited about bringing this film pairing on board would be an understatement,” said Gary Bracey, co-founder of Terra Virtua.

“And, what’s more exciting is that we’re also releasing a full VR experience on Oculus Quest, so when we say we’re fully immersive, we really mean it.”

Terra Virtua (www.terravirtua.io), with global headquarters in London, England, has evolved the digital collectibles market from simply collecting virtual items to completing and showcasing collections through new, interactive and immersive experiences.

Rocket Licensing on sci-fi adventure with Legendary for Dune, Carnival Row and Lost in Space

The global entertainment company, Legendary Entertainment, has appointed Rocket Licensing to manage the consumer products programme for the upcoming event feature film Dune.

The deal is part of a wider licensing programme for the sci-fi writer’s best loved works, including Carnival Row and Lost in Space (both of which have seen recent television adaptations), which will also both be spearheaded by Rocket Licensing here in the UK and Ireland.

Rocket Licensing has outlined target consumer product categories including: apparel, dress-up, gifting, social stationery, games and homewares.

Set for release on December 18, 2020, Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ Dune is based on the eponymous novel, renowned as one of the greatest science fiction works of all time.

The film stars Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, and Josh Brolin alongside the likes of Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Zendaya, David Dastmalchian, Stephen Henderson, Chang Chen, Charlotte Rampling, with Jason Momoa, and Javier Bardem.

It is helmed by director Denis Villenueve and tells the coming-of-age story of Paul Atreides, a young man who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family.

Carnival Row, the hit neo-Victorian fantasy television series from Amazon Studios and Legendary Television, features Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne, among an ensemble British cast, and has already enjoyed more than 11 million viewers since its premiere in August 2019.

Set in a world where mythological immigrant creatures are struggling to coexist with humans, the series follows a war-hardened human detective as he investigates a string of gruesome murders threatening the uneasy peace of the Row and a refugee faerie who returns to his life and forces him to reckon with a past he is trying to forget, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Each of them is very different and together they create a wealth of potential for licensing partnerships. We’re excited to showcase these brands to the industry.”
