Friends of Dorothy, Rejoice!

Almost 75 years (or three-quarters of a century, if you want to make it sound longer) after its wonderful Technicolor debut, The Wizard of Oz has been converted to 3-D and IMAX for a one-week theatrical run in September, according to an announcement today from Warner Bros and IMAX officials, who should know. The restoration is said to be the film industry’s highest-profile conversion yet of a classic 2-D movie. Studios have already remastered movies like Titanic, Jurassic Park, and Raiders of the Lost Ark, and now they hope to dazzle audiences with digitally enhanced sound and images, bringing the Oz gang (truly not in Kansas anymore) into 3-D focus as they hop, skip, and jump down that yellow road to disappointment, their disappointment now even bigger when realized in IMAX’s colossal format. Will it be like being there, Mommy? “The sound was exceptional, the sharpness was exceptional,” said Greg Foster, the head of IMAX Entertainment, who is partial. “But it’s the color that stands out. What they could do is truly amazing, maybe what people felt when they first saw it.” Which we can’t know three-quarters of a century later. (via usatoday)
