GHOST Feature Film “Rite Here Rite Now” To Hit Theaters

Yes! I love Ghost and cannot wait for this movie to drop! Rite Here Rite Now is the name of the feature film the band is dropping. It will be in theaters on June 20th and 22nd only.

According to the press release, the unique feature-length film combines never-before-seen 2023 concert footage of GRAMMY award-winning rock band, GHOST, with a narrative story that picks up plot threads from the band’s long-running webisode series. It's directed by Ghost front man, 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. 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.”

More from the release - 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 favorites 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.

Full trailer launch and cinema tickets will be available beginning Thursday, May 9. Worldwide screening details and ticket links will be revealed at ritehereritenow.com at 2pm BST / 9am EDT / 6am PDT. Fans are encouraged to sign up for further information.

What. A. Show!

Amon Amarth and Ghost killed it Monday night at Pine Knob.

I'll admit, I'm not a huge Amon Amarth fan, but you can't deny they rock! I'll say this, I am kind of a sucker for the Viking shtick. They really dig into it in a big way. The band was tight, the stage was really cool, and I really liked it...a lot.

I was there for Ghost though. I haven't seen them since 2018 at the Fillmore. As much as I loved the show, it did seem to be very much like the last one I saw. That being said, it was a theatrical blitz for an hour and a half. Tobias Forge (Papa) commands the stage like he's floating across it. His quirky sense of humor is on display throughout the set. The stage is very colorful and sharp. The band is top-notch.

I did take in the Imperium V.I.P. Experience tour. That was killer, as well!
