Yoostar 2, the first console game to insert players into their favourite films and television shows, is to be a permanent exhibit at the London Film Museum, curators have announced.
Using its unique technology, Yoostar 2 allows players the chance to actually step in to the movies. Playing alongside or in place of their favourite actors, people can star in hundreds of scenes from classic Hollywood films and TV shows.
“From the moment we played Yoostar 2 we were hooked and knew that we had to create the first ever Yoostar Studio for the London Film Museum ” said Jonathan Sands – Founder and CEO – London Film Museum. “With ourselves being the only Family Film Museum in the UK and Yoostar having the ability to put our visitors into whichever movies they choose, it is the perfect combination for film fans”.
Found on London’s South bank the museum is a Mecca for movie fans both young and old. It contains exhibits, costumes and props from some of biggest films in cinematic history.
Gregory Fischbach, CEO, Yoostar Entertainment Group commented “We are immensely proud to be featured at this prestigious museum. It will provide the opportunity for us to demonstrate the magic of Yoostar to an audience who already has a love for movies and the history of film. I can’t think of a better location to house a permanent display of the world’s only entertainment experience to put you alongside and interact with the stars of cinema, past and present.”
The Yoostar set will be unveiled for the first time on June 18th at London’s WestEnd Live , a free event held in Leicester square showcasing the best of entertainment on offer in the heart of London.
