CityLights Funds Second Multi-million Dollar Virtual Cinematic Production Following Acquisition of Aronofsky's Spheres in 2018
The 8-minute experience is narrated by Hugh Bonneville , in a nod to the fictional role he played in and the equivalent real Lord Carnarvon, who funded Carter's archaeological pursuit in the same era as the iconic TV series. Further talents include producers Garland Hunt Jr. , Ian Donahue and Chadwick Turner , world renowned scriptwriter Bart Gavigan and his son Gabriel, and Thievery Corporation's Rob Garza , who composed the soundtrack after an in-depth study of the sounds and instruments of ancient Egypt .
The theatre consists of 18 state-of-the-art Positron Voyager chairs, the first chair designed specifically for fully immersive cinematic VR. Positron is widely considered the leader in the field and this theatre is the first time the masses will have direct access to this technological advancement.
is the latest film from CityLights, who, in 2018, acquired Executive Producer Darren Aronofsky's "Spheres," the space-themed narrative three-piece series that debuted at Sundance and won the Grand Prix at the Venice International Film Festival and was the first-ever VR project to screen at Telluride. In January 2019 , CityLights produced a sold out Spheres Pop-Up at Rockefeller Center. Recently, they announced The MVP Experience, an extended reality project featuring NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes, in which fans can be transported into the shoes of the star quarterback.

The company is dedicated to the visual quality of its content and providing resources to creatives who are expanding immersive media as a cinematic medium.
