Now, Sphere has confirmed the other piece of our scoop: The venue will soon debut “V-U2,” a concert film of U2’s residency at Sphere. This “Inception” moment (a Sphere movie about a Sphere residency) launches Sep. 5, 2024.<\/p>\n Like everything new in Las Vegas in the past five years, “V-U2” is being promoted as “immersive.” It’s the law. In this case, however, the term might actually apply. It’s the Sphere.<\/p>\n U2’s Sphere 40-show residency (Sep. 2023 through Mar. 2024), “U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere,” was a smash. It makes sense, then, that the band and Sphere have found a way to extend the show (translation: revenue stream).<\/p>\n The new film’s official name is “V-U2 An Immersive Concert Film at Sphere Las Vegas,” which is way too long, so we’re using the bris version, “V-U2.”<\/p>\n The movie was directed by U2’s Edge and Morleigh Steinberg, Edge’s wife, who is also probably a talented dancer, choreographer, lighting designer and director. Even Variety<\/a> got her name wrong<\/a>.<\/p>\n Oh, that’s right, it’s not “The Edge,” is just “Edge.” Ditto “Sphere,” apparently. Although, “the Sphere” is acceptable, but don’t you dare capitalize it.<\/p>\n Directing a concert movie isn’t really directing, per se. They’re basically help edit footage of a performance directed by someone else, in this case, Willie Williams.<\/p>\n Here’s a teaser.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/u2_concert_film-845x563.jpg\")
