According to multiple sources, including Variety, the AR play "Ark," starring Sir Ian McKellen, is poised to revolutionize theater with its immersive mixed reality experience. Additionally, Gregg Araki's film "Mysterious Skin" has undergone a 4K restoration, allowing the director to refine the film using modern post-production tools, as reported by Variety.
