Stephen & Robbie Amell's Crowd Funded Movie 'Code 8' Is Coming To Theaters!

Congrats to the Amell cousins Stephen and Robbie!!

The guys’ movie Code 8 has been picked up Vertical Entertainment for a theatrical release, Deadline reports.

“We took a grassroots approach to getting this film off the ground and we’re beyond thrilled to unveil it alongside our partners at Vertical,” they said in a statement. “This has been a labor of love for us and the tens of thousands of supporters who have been there since the start of this journey.”

If you didn’t know, Stephen and Robbie launched an Indiegogo campaign back in 2016 to help fund the movie. They also have held screenings of the finished product for supporters.

Code 8 is set in a world where 4% of the population is born with some type of supernatural ability, but instead of being superheroes, they are heavily policed and live in poverty. Connor Reed (Robbie) is a powerful young “electric” struggling to pay for his ailing mother’s medical treatment. To earn money, he joins a lucrative criminal world led by Garrett (Stephen), who teaches him how to use his powers to pull off a series of increasingly dangerous crimes.

Look out for a Code 8 in theaters late this year!
