1. The Void has partnered with Sony Pictures to bring a Jumanji VR experience to some of its locations. “Jumanji Reverse the Curse” will be available at select locations starting Nov. 27. Up to four visitors at a time can play the characters of Dr. Bravestone, Ruby Roundhouse, Professor Oberon and “Mouse” Finbar. Together, the group will embark on a quest to rescue the Scepter of Se’payu containing the Red Jewel of Jumanji and return it to the temple from which it was stolen. "As the characters in ‘Jumanji’ are pulled into the game, we naturally had the idea to create a VR experience where fans can do the same," said Sony Pictures senior vice president for virtual reality, Jake Zim. The location-based Virtual Reality start-up, which is backed by Disney, Qualcomm Ventures and James Murdoch’s Lupa Systems, currently has 6 VR centers in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Toronto, and Dubai. Earlier this year it also announced plans to open 14 additional venues in cities such as San Diego, Paris, London, and Vienna. – VARIETY
