variety.comJennifer Maas TV Business Writer “The Mandalorian” star Rosario Dawson and “The Grand Budapest Hotel” star Tony Revolori are set as the co-leads in the upcoming western animated series “Ghosts of Ruin.” Per the show’s logline, “In the near-future tech dystopia of San Francisco, ‘Ghosts of Ruin’ is a genre-bending animated series where virtual reality has evolved into Neural Reality, creating a world where video games have been synced directly into players’ minds and are indistinguishable from real life.
The series follows a group of gamers on their journey into the world’s first neural reality battle royal tournament game called ‘Ruin.’ However, a rogue program emerges to turn their paradise into a living nightmare.” “Ghosts of Ruin” will debut in August via the Gala Film website, the film and TV division of Web3 company Gala.
Though no streaming service is attached to the project yet, Battle Island plans to shop the project to other platforms for a wider release.
Revolori will voice Lee, the series protagonist, small-time gamer, and streamer who finds himself in the tournament after a last-minute vacancy, according to Battle Island, while Dawson will voice Prism, a standoffish pro gamer with one goal: to be the world’s undisputed champion.
