VR is about to get a creative filmmaker's touch.

Ridley Scott's RSA Films production company is launching a new imprint "dedicated exclusively to the creative development and production of VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality) and mixed media." It's called RSA VR.

RSA VR's first project is a VR Experience for "Alien: Covenant," in partnership with Twentieth Century Fox and Technicolour.

"We have been heavily involved in VR for the past few years, and having a dedicated stand-alone division underscores our commitment to immersive media in both the brand and entertainment space," RSA Films' president Jules Daly said.

    Yeah, I understand that. These are wonderful experiences you're missing out on by not going to theaters!

    Don't you want to hear crying babies during a movie? Don't you want to hear young children making noise during R-rated movies that aren't appropriate for them? Don't you want to hear talking about the movie, or even talking *to* the movie? Don't you want to risk getting shot by angry movie-goers? You might not have these enriching experiences available to you in your cold, sterile home theater, so you should visit a real cinema so enjoy this rich culture.
