Rocky Horror stage stars invited to claim their avatar self
ahead of public launch
LONDON, Jan. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- "We would like to,
if we may, take you on a strange journey... into the metaverse."
The immortal characters from The Rocky Horror Show are being
transit-beamed onto the blockchain to celebrate the show's 50th
anniversary.
The Rocky Horror Show creator Richard
O'Brien will be the holder of the initial Riff Raff NFT
(non-fungible token) minted from the upcoming collection. Now the
team behind the project is calling all stage production
Frank-N-Furters, Magentas, Janets, Brads, Columbias, Eddies,
Rockys, Riff Raffs and Phantoms past and present to claim a free
NFT of their character before they go on sale to the general
public.
Andy Leighton MD of Druidcrest,
the head rights holder, and Interfishnet Ltd - a company owned by
The Rocky Horror Show creator Richard
O'Brien - is putting together a list of all cast members of
the show and Online Blockchain plc will airdrop them their
character.
In both the virtual and physical world, a Rocky Horror Show NFT
is planned to act as a key to unlock access to experiences,
opportunities and merch for holders as part of the planned The
Rocky Horror Show metaverse. More details can be found here.
Richard O'Brien's Riff Raff
character will be the first one released and other characters will
be minted and airdropped to verified Rocky Horror players from its
incredible 50-year history. The remaining exclusive collection will
be minted and made available on NFT marketplace OpenSea later this
year. Richard O'Brien and
Interfishnet intend to donate a proportion of any proceeds from the
NFT to charity.
"NFTs will be more than just collectibles and fandom, they
represent a new form of identity. Don't Dream It, NFT it; I see you
shiver with anticipatio….nft," said Andy
Leighton.
Interfishnet and the team behind Online Blockchain have a
relationship spanning almost 40 years, which dates back to the
first The Rocky Horror Show video game.
