Shrek fans will get to experience the original movie in a whole new way ahead of the upcoming sequel. According to a recent report, a new edition of the franchise’s first film will premiere soon in a shared reality space.
As Deadline reported, Cosm will kick off a multi-film partnership deal with Universal Studios by premiering a reimagined version of Shrek Part 1 in the company’s LED dome screen. Universal Film, DreamWorks Animation, and the visual effects studio Reel FX have collaborated on the project.
The companies have stated that this experience will allow audiences to step into areas such as Shrek’s Swamp, Duloc’s Arena, the Kingdom of Far Far Away, and Dragon’s Keep. In addition, fans can experience the adventure alongside Shrek, Donkey, Princess Fiona, and other beloved characters.
Cosm is a shared-reality company founded in 2020. The premiere of Shrek in the dome will also mark the first animated movie to debut at Cosm. It will maintain the traditional 16:9 aspect ratio, with the LED dome activated throughout the screening.
“Our first animated film, Shrek in Shared Reality, allows us to amplify the humor and irreverent charm that makes its story and characters beloved across generations. We are so proud to bring Shrek to life in this incredible way, for audiences to experience twenty-five years after its initial debut, and this newfound partnership continues to reinforce our confidence in what is truly possible for immersive entertainment,” shared Alexis Scalice, VP, Head of Cosm Studios at Cosm.
