A new, fully immersive version of the 1939 classic “The Wizard of Oz” is set to debut at The Sphere in Las Vegas later this summer. Developed in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery, Google, and Magnopus, the experience will maintain the original story while utilizing innovative technology.
Sphere Entertainment’s Sphere Studios division is also working on a new documentary series called “From the Edge,” which follows five extreme athletes using proprietary camera technology. The project, directed by Academy Award winners E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, aims to showcase their remarkable feats in a unique and captivating way.
The Wizard of Oz and From the Edge are part of Sphere’s strategy to expand its entertainment offerings beyond concerts and live events. “Our goal for The Sphere Experience is a diverse slate that leverages our power as an experiential medium,” said Jim Dolan, CEO of Sphere Entertainment.
