"The Wizard Of Oz Trailer" - First Look
"The Wizard Of Oz" - In Movie Theaters September 23, 2009

"The Wizard Of Oz" - You won’t believe your eyes and ears on this brand new magical journey down the yellow brick road with Dorothy, her dog Toto, The Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion. On September 23rd, 2009 theatergoers get the opportunity to experience this family classic for the first time in high definition on the big screen.

The Wizard of Oz 70th Anniversary Hi-Def Event, a special one-night only, nationwide in-theater presentation, will be held in 449 AMC Theaters, on Wednesday, Sept. 23rd at 7:00PM. The event will also feature the specially created “To Oz! The Making of a Classic,” an exclusive look inside Oz featuring behind-the-scenes footage, home movies and archival interviews with the cast and crew.

The Wizard of Oz 70th Anniversary Hi-Def Event will be introduced by Her Royal Highness (of the movies), Robert Osborne, host of Turner Classic Movies, who will share facts and stories about this ageless classic. The exclusive cut of “To Oz! The Making of a Classic” will offer audiences a unique peek into the Land of Oz through interviews with original Munchkin actors; an audio outtake of “If I Only Had a Brain” with Ray Bolger and July Garland, complete with stills and home movie footage; and a look at how the MGM artists and craftsmen created the music, costumes and amazing special effects for “The Wizard of Oz” in the 1930s.

Adapted from L. Frank Baum’s timeless children’s tale about a Kansas girl’s journey over the rainbow, “The Wizard of Oz” opened on Aug. 15, 1939 and is ranked among the top 10 best movies of all-time. “The Wizard of Oz” received five Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and captured two Oscars – Best Song (“Over the Rainbow”) and Best Original Score – plus a special award for Outstanding Juvenile Performance by Judy Garland. The film was not a movie box office success its first time around in movie theaters. It was during return engagements and after it appeared on television that the movie became the classic it is today.

Warner Home Video’s re-mastered Blu-ray and DVD release, The Wizard of Oz 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’s Edition, debuts September 29. With six times higher resolution than standard DVD, along with the sonic excellence of Dolby TruHD, the film will be at its pristine best, marking an historic benchmark in the Blu-ray format. The limited and numbered Ultimate Collector’s Editions will feature 16 hours of bonus features - four hours of which have never been available before now. Every package will bear a silver label containing a specific numbered version; once these packages are sold out, they will never again be available to consumers. For more about the Blu-ray release...
