Sphere Entertainment Co. has announced two ambitious additions to its immersive content lineup: The Wizard of Oz at Sphere and From The Edge. Both projects are currently in production at Sphere Studios and will be featured as part of The Sphere Experience—the company’s signature series of original, large-scale immersive experiences designed specifically for the groundbreaking Sphere venue in Las Vegas.

Executive Chairman and CEO Jim Dolan emphasized the company's commitment to redefining storytelling through immersive media: 

“Our goal for The Sphere Experience is a diverse slate that leverages Sphere’s power as an experiential medium. The Wizard of Oz at Sphere and From The Edge will push that vision forward in different ways.”

The Wizard of Oz at Sphere – A Technological Reimagining of a Timeless Classic

Set to open on August 28, 2025, The Wizard of Oz at Sphere will bring the beloved 1939 film to life like never before. In collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery, Google, and immersive content pioneer Magnopus, Sphere will present the film in a fully reimagined format tailored for its one-of-a-kind venue. The experience will maintain the charm and integrity of the original while integrating next-generation visuals, spatial audio, and environmental effects.

The project is being led by an elite creative team, including:

  • Jane Rosenthal, Academy Award and Emmy-nominated producer (The Irishman)
  • Ben Grossmann, Academy Award-winning visual effects artist (Hugo)
  • Jennifer Lame, Academy Award-winning editor (Oppenheimer)
  • Zack Winokur, Creative Director (Little Island)

This collaboration aims to transform the classic story into a fully immersive journey, where audiences won’t just follow the Yellow Brick Road—they’ll feel like they’re walking down it themselves.

From The Edge – A Daring Dive into the World of Extreme Sports

Debuting in 2026, From The Edge will take audiences on an adrenaline-fueled adventure across the globe, capturing the limits of human potential through the lens of extreme athletes. Directed by Academy Award winners E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin (Free Solo), the film features a world-class lineup of adventurers:

  • Alenka Artnik, record-breaking free diver
  • Markus Eder, freestyle skier
  • Alex Honnold, legendary rock climber
  • Katie Hansen Lajeunesse, BASE jumper
  • Kai Lenny, big-wave surfer

Filming is already underway in a diverse array of breathtaking locations including Jordan, Dubai, Switzerland, the Bahamas, Austin, Las Vegas, and Maui. The film is captured using Sphere Entertainment’s proprietary Big Sky camera system, designed to deliver unmatched scale and clarity tailored for the Sphere’s massive interior LED display.

Produced by Vasarhelyi and Chin’s Little Monster Films along with Evan Hayes and Callum Greene, the project is supported by executive producers Anna Barnes (Little Monster Films) and Nick Martini (Stept Studios).

To stay up to date and gain exclusive early access to both productions, fans can sign up for The Inner Circle at thesphere.com.

With these two cutting-edge experiences on the horizon, Sphere continues to pioneer the future of immersive storytelling—whether it’s through a magical journey to Oz or a heart-pounding leap from the edge.

MULHOLLAND DRIVE is a complex and surreal film directed by David Lynch, known for its non-linear narrative and dreamlike sequences.
