On September 5, U2 fans will be in for a treat with the release of V-U2: An Immersive Concert Film at Sphere Las Vegas. Directed by Morleigh Steinberg and The Edge, the movie captures the essence of the band’s U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere residency from September 2023 through March. What sets this film apart is that it is the first to be shot entirely with Big Sky, Sphere Entertainment’s ultrahigh-resolution camera system, promising an unparalleled viewing experience that brings the live concert vibes right to the audience.
The Edge expressed his excitement for the project, stating, “The goal was to give the immersive moviegoers as close to the live U2:UV concert experience as possible – and then some.” Steinberg added, “We knew all the tremendous capabilities of the technology, but we didn’t know what to expect from the process of making this film. The work became a true collaboration between band, artists, producers, and technology teams. The end result is a cinematic experience that transports viewers into the energy and beauty of the live show.”
