Sci-fi filmmaker David Goyer unveils fresh blockchain-supported franchise, titled Emergence
In an exciting development for sci-fi enthusiasts and blockchain enthusiasts alike, filmmaker David Goyer has announced the launch of a new blockchain-based science fiction universe named Emergence. The universe, built on Goyer's new platform, Incention, is part of a Web3 sci-fi universe featuring spaceships, relic hunting, and white holes.
Goyer, known for his work on the Blade trilogy, Apple's Foundation TV Series, and Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight, believes that leveraging Web3 technology can help foster innovation and provide opportunities for emerging filmmakers to break into Hollywood.
At the recent Consensus Toronto event, Goyer and SLY Lee from Story Protocol discussed the concept of Emergence. Story Protocol, a company that builds IP-focused blockchains, is the backbone of both Incention and Emergence.
Emergence is more than just a traditional storytelling experience. It's a creative platform for building stories with the audience, where fans can actively co-create characters and engage in storytelling alongside professional storytellers. This approach uses blockchain and tokenization of assets, allowing for a decentralized, interactive creative process.
The universe ensures transparent ownership and contribution recognition, facilitating collaborative creation where fans can co-own characters and story elements they help develop. Each intellectual property on Story Protocol's blockchain has its own program, licensing, and royalty-sharing rights.
In this innovative approach, fans will have the opportunity to participate in character creation alongside professional storytellers. The rules for using someone else's IP on Story Protocol's blockchain are set by the IP owner. If the rules are followed, the IP owner and the person using their IP can share the upside together.
This method goes beyond traditional storytelling by empowering the community within a decentralized Web3 framework, where creative assets and intellectual property are tokenized, making the audience an integral part of the story's progression and character creation.
Goyer's idea for Emergence is to use a bottom-up IP building approach, involving the community in character creation. Without a middleman, someone can remix, license, and build upon someone else's IP on Story Protocol's blockchain.
Emergence is not just a science fiction universe; it's a testament to the power of collaboration and the democratization of storytelling. By embracing the principles of Web3, Goyer is paving the way for a new era of interactive, community-driven storytelling.
