A hologram of the late Whitney Houston will arrive in 2016.
Greek billionaire Alki David’s Hologram USA will create the hologram with the help and approval of the Estate. His FilmOn Studios will create the content as well as distribute via FilmOn.com and syndicate to all major digital outlets online, on satellite and cable. The live show will open at a major U.S. venue and tour the world.
“I was heartbroken when Whitney passed away in 2012,” says Alki David, CEO of Hologram USA and FilmOn. “The opportunity to help share her spectacular gifts with the world again is exactly what I hoped for when I built the hologram business. We’ve got technology that’s causing a seismic shift in the entertainment industry, and a wonderful partnership with Pat Houston and the estate — I’m confident we’ll create the ultimate celebration of Whitney’s amazing artistry.”
Pat Houston, president of Whitney’s estate says, “It’s a great opportunity for her fans to see a reinvention of one the most celebrated female artists in history and to continue a legacy of performances that will not be forgotten in years to come.”
Hologram USA also announced a hologram of Billie Holliday will be unveiled later this year at the Apollo Theater in New York.
