Cream Productions — a prominent entertainment production company — is delighted to announce an October 18, 2023, release date for the VR survival game Survivorman VR: The Descent on Meta Quest 2, and the upcoming Meta Quest 3. Featuring survival legend Les Stroud, Survivorman VR: The Descent is a gripping reality-based survival simulator set in the Canadian Arctic that tests the mettle of would-be survivalists, forcing them to use their hard-earned skills, quick thinking, and creativity to battle the elements and save their own lives.

Produced by the creative team behind the hit TV series Survivorman, Survivorman VR: The Descent is a first-person adventure simulator that gives players a simple challenge: survive a helicopter crash in the Arctic mountains and make their way to safety. Tasked with braving the wilderness and freezing temperatures, players engage in a raw test of endurance, smarts, and skill, all while working under the watchful eye of Les Stroud himself. As they descend down the cliff face, survivalists learn to navigate icy ravines, treacherous rivers, and daring rock faces as they find their way to safety. With direct expertise from Les Stroud in the making of the game, the challenges experienced in Survivorman VR: The Descent are rooted in authentic survival.

A true survivalist in every sense of the word, Les Stroud, who pioneered the survival television genre with his hit TV show Survivorman, is considered a teacher and mentor, above all.

The Exorcist: Believer In Every Religion and Every Culture Featurette

Exactly 50 years ago this fall, the most terrifying horror film in history landed on screens, shocking audiences around the world. Now, on Friday, October 6, a new chapter begins. From Blumhouse and director David Gordon Green, who shattered the status quo with their resurrection of the Halloween franchise, comes The Exorcist: Believer.

Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding (Tony winner and Oscar® nominee Leslie Odom, Jr.; One Night in Miami, Hamilton) has raised their daughter, Angela (Lidya Jewett, Good Girls) on his own.

But when Angela and her friend Katherine (newcomer Olivia O’Neill), disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them, it unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront the nadir of evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before: Chris MacNeil.

For the first time since the 1973 film, Oscar® winner Ellen Burstyn reprises her iconic role as Chris MacNeil, an actress who has been forever altered by what happened to her daughter Regan five decades before.

The film also stars Emmy winner Ann Dowd (The Handmaid’s Tale, Hereditary) as Victor and Angela’s neighbor, and Grammy winner Jennifer Nettles (Harriet, The Righteous Gemstones) and two-time Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz (Fosse/Verdon, Bloodline) as the parents of Katherine, Angela’s friend.

When The Exorcist, based on the best-selling book by William Peter Blatty, was released, it changed the culture forever, obliterating box office records and earning 10 Academy Award® nominations, becoming the first horror film ever nominated for Best Picture.

The Exorcist: Believer is directed by David Gordon Green from a screenplay by Peter Sattler (Camp X-Ray) and David Gordon Green, from a story by Scott Teems (Halloween Kills), Danny McBride (Halloween trilogy) and David Gordon Green, based on characters created by William Peter Blatty.

The film is produced by Jason Blum for Blumhouse and by David Robinson and James G. Robinson for Morgan Creek Entertainment.

The executive producers are Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, Stephanie Allain, Ryan Turek and Atilla Yücer. Universal Pictures presents a Blumhouse/Morgan Creek Entertainment production in association with Rough House Picures.
