Watch the trailer for Eminem’s 21-minute ‘virtual reality’ documentary

For those who have long wondered what it would be like to cruise around with the real Slim Shady — your time has finally come.

The teaser trailer for Marshall From Detroit was released on Tuesday ahead of the documentary's premiere at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend. The 21-minute-long virtual reality film offers an interactive, 360-degree view of Detroit as Eminem tours his hometown with interviewer Sway.

The trailer, which gives a taste of the film's interactive features, reveals Em in the backseat while a wintery and seemingly empty downtown streams past the windows.

The film is in collaboration with director Caleb Slain and the Emmy-Award winning Felix & Paul studios, which specializes in "immersive" storytelling.

“Our idea was to extend the blanket of intimacy offered by VR beyond the once-in-a-lifetime ride with Marshall and introduce you to a more mystic version of Detroit you could never see for yourself,” Slain told Variety. “We wanted to take the ‘reality’ out of VR and cook it down into something more unreal, but also truthful.”
