Writer and director Jeff Chan’s high concept sci-fi short film Code 8 found huge success online in 2016, so much so that it was was eventually adapted into a feature film after a crowdfunding campaign helped raise the $15 million budget to bring the project to life on a much grander scale.
Of course, it helped that the short came packing several recognizable names including Arrow‘s Steven Amell, his cousin and Upload star Robbie, along with Fast & Furious veteran Sung Kang. Code 8 scored a limited theatrical release in late 2019, where it only managed to bring in $150,000 at the box office, but Netflix swooping in to secure the streaming rights turned out to be a masterstroke on the platform’s part.
