Suicide Squad 360: The VR Experience Behind-The-Scenes Video Released

For David Ayer's Suicide Squad, Samsung Electronics America, Inc. and Warner Bros. Pictures collaborated on "Squad 360: The VR Experience." It's a virtual reality experience — using Samsung Gear VR powered by Oculus— that allows fans to feel as though they are a member of the Squad and part of the action-packed scene in which Harley Quinn bashes, Deadshot shoots, and Katana slices-and-dices goo-covered foot soldiers, known as the "Eyes of the Adversary."

Check out the featurette in the video above to see how it all came together.

"Suicide Squad is one of the most anticipated films of the year and we're thrilled to team up with Warner Bros. in this innovative way," said Marc Mathieu, Samsung Electronics America's Chief Marketing Officer. "Connecting with fans through immersive VR and 360 storytelling and breakthrough experiences gives Samsung yet another opportunity to explore how our technology can enhance popular culture."

Gene Garlock, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Promotional Alliances and Partnerships, Warner Bros. Pictures, stated, "We're absolutely delighted to be working with Samsung Electronics via such a broad and inventive partnership. Our collective aim is to reward fans of the property both in the consumer market and by giving them the chance to immerse themselves in a virtual environment alongside the Suicide Squad characters in a most realistic and exciting way."

"Squad 360: The VR Experience" will be available Friday, August 5 on Samsung VR, the brand's premium virtual reality content service.

It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world's most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government's disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren't picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it's every man for himself?

Written and directed by David Ayer based on the characters from DC Comics, the film stars Will Smith ("Ali"), Jared Leto ("Dallas Buyers Club"), Margot Robbie ("The Wolf of Wall Street"), Joel Kinnaman ("RoboCop") and Viola Davis ("The Help"). The cast also includes Jai Courtney ("Insurgent"), Jay Hernandez ("Takers"), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje ("Thor: The Dark World"), Ike Barinholtz ("Neighbors"), Scott Eastwood ("Fury"), Cara Delevingne ("Paper Towns"), Adam Beach ("Cowboys & Aliens"), and Karen Fukuhara in her feature film debut. It is produced by Charles Roven and Richard Suckle, with Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder, Colin Wilson and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers.

Suicide Squad opens worldwide in 3D, and in 2D, and in select IMAX 3D theaters beginning August 5, 2016.
