MONTREAL – Ricky Greenwood's "Simulation," a new feature from the Pure Taboo sci-fi anthology series "Future Darkly," premiered today, November 26. The film explores themes of virtual reality, personal obsession, and the psychological impact of immersive technology.

"Simulation" Explores Virtual Reality and Obsession

"Simulation" is presented by Adult Time’s Pure Taboo banner and marks a Future Darkly debut for director Ricky Greenwood. The feature is available on the AdultTime.com streaming network and at FutureDarkly.com.

The narrative of "Simulation" centers on an isolated office worker named Oliver, portrayed by Lucky Fate and Oliver Davis in different source descriptions. Oliver uses virtual reality to escape his daily life and becomes increasingly consumed by the fantasy world he creates. His coworker, Tommy, played by Tommy Pistol, introduces him to VR. Oliver then develops an unhealthy fixation on his colleague, Gal, played by Gal Ritchie. This fixation leads to a descent into blurred realities and consequences.

A representative described "Simulation" as plunging viewers into "the dark side of virtual reality and personal obsession." The representative further stated that Oliver's fixation on Gal "spirals into a chilling descent into blurred realities and devastating consequences."

The cast also includes performances from Dee Williams and Vanessa Sky. EMMNETWORK described the cast as "star-studded" and noted their contributions to the film's "mesmerizing exploration of isolation, the allure and risks of unchecked fantasies, and the psychological dangers posed by immersive technology."

Greenwood on Blending Storytelling and Speculative Themes

Ricky Greenwood commented on the project, stating it was "an incredible opportunity to blend Pure Taboo’s signature dark storytelling with the speculative themes of 'Future Darkly.'" He explained that with "Simulation," the aim was to "delve into how technology can amplify our deepest desires and vulnerabilities."

Greenwood also acknowledged the cast, stating they "brought that vision to life in a way that’s both fascinating and unsettling." He expressed excitement for viewers to experience the film's "psychological depth and tension," particularly as it "challenges us to reflect on the potential costs of living too much in a virtual world."
