Daisy Ridley Attends Virtual Reality Premiere of “Baby Yaga”

Daisy Ridley attended the first-ever, live, virtual reality red carpet event for her new VR experience, Baby Yaga this past Monday, January 11. The star appeared as an avatar as she walked the carpet with her costar, Jennifer Hudson.

In BABA YAGA, the viewer—YOU—are invited into a haunting fairytale world completely reimagined where your choices determine the ending of this story of love, fortitude, and magic. Sometimes a force for evil, sometimes a force for good, the enigmatic witch Baba Yaga (Winslet) uses her powers to stop the villagers whose settlement encroaches upon her enchanted Forest (Hudson).

You are Sacha, the eldest and heir to the village throne, and sister to the young and willful Magda (Ridley). When your mother, the Village Chief (Close), falls deathly ill, it is up to you and Magda to do the unthinkable—enter the forbidden rainforest, uncover its hidden mysteries and get the cure from Baba Yaga. Ultimately, every decision Sacha makes matters… perhaps even whether humanity and nature can live in balance.

Baba Yaga is available on Oculus Quest on January 14. What a cool way to hold a red carpet and still meet COVID protocol.
