Who Sold The Sequel To Their Sci-Fi Thriller To Netflix?

Cousins Stephen Amell and Robbie Amell have sold the sequel to their sci-fi thriller Code 8 to Netflix. The streaming giant picked up the global rights to Code 8: Part II in a deal with XYZ Films. The acquisition marks Netflix’s first English-language original feature from Canada after the streaming giant took the global rights to Canadian director Ricardo Trogi’s Le Guide de la famille parfaite (The Guide to the Perfect Family), the French-language dramedy about an over-parenting society that got a theatrical release in Quebec and a simultaneous release in the rest of the world on Netflix.

There’s no other word on casting for the sequel, which is set to shoot in Canada later year before a global release on Netflix. Code 8: Part II, from Collective Pictures, sees a teenage girl with abnormal abilities after witnessing the murder of her brother seek the help of an ex-con (Robbie Amell) and his former partner-in-crime (Stephen Amell). Together, they face a unit of corrupt police officers who deploy advanced robotic technology to prevent themselves from being exposed.

Chan, Robbie Amell, Stephen Amell and Paré are producing, with XYZ Films executive producing. The original Code 8 thriller was set in a world where four percent of the population is born with varying supernatural abilities, but rather than be billionaires or superheroes, most “specials” face discrimination, live in poverty and often resort to crime. That leaves Connor Reed, played by The Flash star Robbie Amell, as a powerful young man struggling to pay for his ailing mother’s medical treatment.

Who Is The Netflix Co-Ceo And Chief Content Officer?

Netflix Co-CEO and Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos announced today as part of his keynote speech at Banff World Media Festival that the streamer is taking global rights to Canadian sci-fi movie Code 8: Part II. It’s the streamer’s first original Canadian English-language feature acquisition. Deadline first reported on the casting of the sequel with Robbie Amell (Upload) and Stephen Amell (Arrow) reprising their roles from the first film.

Together, they face a unit of corrupt police officers who deploy advanced robotic technology to prevent themselves from being exposed. Collective Pictures produces a movie directed by Jeff Chan and written by Chris Paré and Jeff Chan, Sherren Lee and Jesse LaVercombe. Producers are Chan, Robbie Amell, Stephen Amell and Paré.

The pic will shoot in Canada and drop on Netflix this year. Code 8 raised $2.5 million from more than 35K backers through Indiegogo, making it the second-largest crowdfunded original film of all time. It set the record for the highest-grossing day-and-date release for Elevation Pictures in Canada and for Vertical Entertainment in the U.S. Upon the film’s release, Deadline reported that a shortform series adaptation was in the works at the now-defunct Quibi.
