Sony Pictures Transforms Groundhog Day Into Virtual Reality Sequel
Sony Pictures Virtual Reality releases a trailer for Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son, putting players in the shoes of Phil Connors Jr. as he relives the same day in VR.
Sony Pictures takes audiences back to Punxsutawney in a brand new virtual reality experience. The studio reveals the first trailer for Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son, a VR sequel that transports players directly into the iconic world of the beloved 1993 comedy film.
In this interactive adventure, players embody Phil Connors Jr., the son of Bill Murray's original character. Just like his father before him, the younger Connors faces the same bizarre dilemma and relives the exact same day over and over until he learns the true value of friends and family.
Sony Pictures Virtual Reality publishes and produces the title alongside co-producer MWM Immersive and developer Tequila Works. While it remains to be seen whether this immersive adaptation captures the magic of the original movie, players soon get the chance to step into the time loop themselves.
