Kiss Unveils Ambitious Future Projects: Avatar Show, Biopic, and Documentary
Kiss fans in Las Vegas were treated to an exclusive preview of the band's upcoming projects during the "Future of Kiss" panel at Kiss Kruise: Land-Locked. Manager Doc McGhee and Johan Lagerlöf from Pophouse, the company that acquired Kiss' catalog and image rights, shared insights into the band's ambitious plans. Lagerlöf revealed that the band's goal is to achieve immortality, and with the help of other panelists, they discussed three major projects in the pipeline.
Creative director Thierry Coup provided an update on the band's avatar show, showcasing concept art and stage set designs. The real avatars are currently in development and are expected to be completed in about two years. Meanwhile, the Kiss biopic, helmed by director McG and producer Mark Canton, is still in the casting phase as they search for actors who can capture the band's electrifying stage presence.
A documentary chronicling Kiss' five-year End of the Road world tour appears to be the closest to completion, with a trailer unveiled at the panel. McGhee emphasized the band's desire to show a more personal side in the documentary, moving away from the larger-than-life image. The documentary, biopic, and avatar show are part of a strategic plan to engage new generations of fans and showcase different facets of Kiss.
Overall, Kiss is gearing up for an exciting future with these three major projects that promise to captivate audiences and solidify the band's legacy in rock and roll history.
