The Wizard of Oz Coming in IMAX 3D!
It seems that Hollywood studios just can’t stop tinkering with their movies. IGN is reporting that Warner Bros. is remastering The Wizard of Oz into 3D and IMAX format for an October 2013 theatrical release celebrating the film’s 75th anniversary.
“75 years later, The Wizard of Oz continues its reign as a multi-generational favorite, with nearly 100 percent awareness among adults and more than 80 percent awareness among children,” said Jeff Baker, WBHE EVP and GM, Theatrical Catalog. “In this new 3D version, the film is bound to make history all over again — with both past and future fans.”
No word yet on whether or not all the film’s original practical effects will be updated with CGI.
