"The Wizard of Oz" as you've never seen it before
"This "Wizard of Oz" isn't in Kansas anymore. In fact, it's in Las Vegas, where Sphere is presenting the Judy Garland classic as you've never seen it – a 16K immersive experience on a screen larger than four football fields, with tornado effects, and artists and AI expanding the visions of Emerald City. Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz offers us a glimpse behind the curtain, and talks with Garland's daughter, singer Lorna Luft, about what she thinks her mother's reaction would have been." from the video introduction
"The Wizard of Oz at Sphere will transport audiences, making them feel like they are traveling down the yellow brick road alongside Dorothy and her friends on an adventure in Oz. The film experience will fill Sphere’s 160,000 sq. ft. interior display plane, which wraps up, over and around the audience to create a fully immersive visual environment. The Wizard of Oz at Sphere will utilize the venue’s haptic seats, environmental effects and custom scents to make you feel like you are part of the movie and have landed in Kansas and Oz. The film’s original songs have also been remastered and their orchestrations re-recorded to take on new clarity via Sphere Immersive Sound’s 167,000 speakers..." from the sphere.com
