"Virtual" 2Pac Wows Audiences
During their sold-out set at the Coachella Valley Music Festival, headliners Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg blew the minds of fans when they were joined onstage by 2Pac via a holographic projection. This incredibly realistic likeness of 2Pac was created by Hollywood powerhouse Digital Domain, a subsidiary of Digital Domain Media Group (NYSE: DDMG), and reunited the legends in an exclusive, original performance of "Hail Mary" and "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted."
"Virtual" 2Pac is the vision of Dr. Dre, who, with Philip Atwell of Geronimo Productions and Dylan Brown of The Yard, worked with Digital Domain to create this exclusive performance for fans. Digital Domain created the Academy Award®-winning CG likeness of Brad Pitt for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and CG likenesses of Jeff Bridges for TRON: Legacy, Kevin Bacon for X-Men: First Class, Rooney Mara for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and more.
