‘Wizard of Oz’ blown up by AI for giant Sphere screen

The Vast las Vegas venue His first classic movie, known as the sphere, “The Wizard of Oz” will be screened on August 28. A section on CBS on Sunday morningIt is just taking the existing movie and it is not a matter of projecting 160,000 square feet in the sphere, a project on the LED screen.

Instead, James Dolan, chief executive of Spear Entertainment, says a 2,000-person team is creating a new experience. It includes the use of AI to increase the resolution of the existing film and extends the footage outside the frame of what was actually shot.

For example, Turner Classic Movie presenter Ben Mankuicz says that through the use of AI, “Dorothy’s granular intimacy becomes a lot of details, and then through a process called outpinning-even if it seems like magic-we see the rest of the scorecro, yellow brick road and oz.”

In other cases, expanding the frame means creating new performances from existing actors.

Despite these changes, Dolan said, “Our value in this regard is not to correct the film at all, you were in the studio while bringing you to the film and shooting you.”
