The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Merrily We Roll Along is an upcoming American epic musical film co-written and directed by Richard Linklater, based on the 1981 musical by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth, which is in turn adapted from the 1934 play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. Jason Blum serves as a producer under his Blumhouse Productions banner. Starring Paul Mescal, Ben Platt, and Beanie Feldstein, the production began principal photography in 2019, although an unknown amount was reshot in 2021 following the casting of Paul Mescal, and it is unclear how much of the film from 2019 will be used.
