Stephen & Robbie Amell To Return For 'Code 8' Sequel!
Yes, that’s right – The Amell cousins are coming back for another sci-fi movie!
It was just announced that Stephen and Robbie Amell are set to reprise their roles for Code 8: Part II, Deadline reports.
The actors crowd-funded the first movie in order to get it made, and after it was released, it became a huge success, and can even be streamed on Netflix!
The director of the first movie, Jeff Chan, will return to direct the sequel. He also co-wrote the script with Chris Pare, who wrote the first one, as well as Sherren Lee and Jesse LaVercombe.
Code 8: Part II will follow “the journey of a teenage girl fighting to get justice for her slain brother at the hands of corrupt police officers. After becoming a witness to the cover-up, she becomes a target and enlists the help of an ex-con (Robbie Amell) and his former partner-in-crime (Stephen Amell). Together, they face a highly regarded and well protected police sergeant who will use every tool to prevent himself from being exposed.”
“There’s nothing better than working with family and friends,” Robbie shared in a statement. “Code 8 was the embodiment of that. I can’t wait to get back to work on the sequel.”
“Code 8 is an incredibly personal and special project for all of us,” Stephen added. “We built the world in the first one and now we’re ready to blow it out!”
