Great news for fans of "Fifty Shades Darker" and the franchise, as it seems a virtual reality experience based on the film is set to arrive in 2017. The franchise is looking to up the ante for the second installment of the film adaptation of the BDSM books that took the world by storm.
According to Bustle, there is already a virtual reality experience based on "Fifty Shades Darker" in the works, just in time for the film's release on Valentine's Day next year. That's not far along now, as we're already approaching the holiday season. It would be a nice Valentine's Day gift for fans of the franchise taht are already excited to know what exactly the virtual reality experience will include.
Deadline reports that the idea behind the virtual reality experience, aside from marketing the upcoming "Fifty Shades Darker" film, is to open up the film to both the actors and directors. Director James Foley explained that the virtual reality experience was created by having VR people "re-create a facsimile of the scene" that they just shot.
This is, in a way, a step forward for filmmakers who believe that the next level for the film is indeed virtual reality. Foley shares the same sentiments, as he admitted that seeing the virtual reality experience footage has helped him open up his mind. He even calls it an "extension of the visual language."
"Fifty Shades Darker" is set to arrive on February 14, 2017, and will see the return of Dakota Johnson as Anastasia "Ana" Steele and Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey. It will also feature Kim Basinger as Elena Lincoln, Luke Grimes as Elliot Grey, and Eric Johnson as Jack Hyde. The film is directed by James Foley and produced by Michael De Luca, E. L. James, Dana Brunetti, and Marcus Viscidi.
