Our take
Orange Comet is a Web3 startup focused on NFTs. The company specializes in bringing the entertainment industry into the metaverse and features a collection of NFT partnerships, including AMC's "The Walking Dead", and Anthony Hopkins's "The Descendants", the Los Angeles-based startup is driving fan engagement in a way that has never been seen before.
Revolutionizing the way we view art, most recently Orange Comet has partnered up Universal Products to create JAWS: Infested Waters - an immersive, experience on Roblox that reimagines the iconic 1975 film JAWS for a new generation of fans.
