15 Mar – If while watching the 2016 South Korean hit "Train to Busan", you thought to yourself that you want to experience that chaotic zombie-infested world, then this bit of good news is for you. Singaporean visual effects studio, Vividthree, has acquired the rights to develop a virtual reality (VR) tour show based on the movie. Singapore-based media entertainment company, mm2 Asia, announced the project when it entered a binding term sheet with the intellectual property rights owner of the movie, Contents Panda, on 6 March.
The Korea Herald reported that the VR experience will be making its way across the globe, with Malaysia and Singapore included in the tour show. "Train to Busan" is a zombie movie starring Gong Yoo, where he and other passengers on board the train to the city of Busan must survive through the entire ride during a zombie virus outbreak in South Korea. The Yeon Sang-ho directed movie managed to rake in over USD87 million at the worldwide box office and received rave reviews since its release at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016.
