The director of the forthcoming Fifty Shades movie has said that scenes were duplicate shot using virtual reality technology for marketing purposes.
However, Foley said that VR would not be included in the regular cinema versions of either Fifty Shades Darker or Fifty Shades Freed, which were shot back-to-back and are scheduled for release in February 2017 and 2018.
Fifty Shades of Grey was released in early 2015 and took $571m worldwide.
“My personal instinct is that cinema is going to move to VR because it’s an extension of the visual language.
