The new trailer blends the nostalgia of THX’s cinematic origins with the theme of cutting-edge innovation, honoring the company’s mission to ensure entertainment is experienced exactly as the creators intended. The trailer pays homage to THX’s foundational role in elevating the Star Wars moviegoing experience and embraces the brand’s four-decade connection to creativity, imagination, and technical excellence. With a new visual identity and a meticulously composed soundscape, it delivers the emotional resonance THX fans anticipate as the moment the signature crescendo begins.

By releasing the Trailer in HDR10+ and Eclipsa Audio, we are empowering more storytellers, artists, and technologists to build extraordinary experiences that reach fans exactly as intended—faithfully, powerfully, and without compromise, with technology accessible to all via open standards of excellence and fidelity.” The trailer’s artistic approach symbolizes imagination taking form, an audiovisual journey that “sparks” from THX’s early innovations and media playback standards. It celebrates the endless creative possibility of today’s entertainment landscape, across all devices everywhere from concert venue, to cinema, to home theaters and gaming dens to mobile entertainment on mobile computing devices enjoyed over headsets. “THX was built on the idea that technical rigor and artistic ambition go hand in hand,” said Grace Qaqundah, senior vice president, THX Ltd. “Spark is a tribute to our history and a beacon for what lies ahead. We are thrilled to share it with audiences around the world as a spark of what’s possible when imagination meets high fidelity.” Importantly, this is the first THX trailer ever released in open standards technical formats: HDR10+ for video and Eclipsa Audio for sound. The move underscores THX’s commitment to open standard technology ecosystems that enables broad creator adoption and high-fidelity experiences across theaters, home entertainment, gaming platforms, and certified devices. Samsung TVs are the early adopters of Eclipsa Audio, and HDR10+ is well on its way to becoming the industry standard for crisp, clear visuals with more than 20,000 devices already certified. These include computer monitors, projectors, automotive displays, tablets and mobile phones, OTT devices, AVR and Blu Ray devices, and TVs from such major brands as Samsung, Panasonic, JVC, Xiaomi, TCL, Hisense, and Skyworth. The new THX Deep Note trailer is available on THX YouTube here: https://youtu.be/c4-VLk03lQk. Spark is also expected to debut at THX® Certified Cinemas in the second half of this year, as well as across displays of THX brand partners, and on THX Certified devices. A behind-the-scenes video on the making of the Trailer will be released later this year to focus on the talents brought to this Trailer’s creation from filmmaker Michael Coleman, and the incredible thematic musical score by cinematic composer Joseph Trapanese.
