First Look Teaser for Jeff Chan’s Robot Future ‘Code 8: Part II’ Sequel

[Signal lost...] Netflix has unveiled the first look teaser during Geeked Week 2023 for a sci-fi super-powers thriller follow-up called Code 8: Part II - landing in early 2024. This is a sequel to the 2019 indie sci-fi film Code 8 (watch the trailer), which is actually about people with special powers living in the near future. This next one picks up where that left off. In a world where 4% of the population are born with abnormal powers & heavily policed by high-tech robotics, an ex-con teams up with the drug lord he despises to protect a young girl. They will face a highly regarded & well-protected corrupt police sergeant. Action star brothers Robbie Amell and Stephen Amell star in Code 8 Part II, along with Sirena Gulamgaus as Pav, Jean Yoon, Alex Mallari Jr., and Aaron Abrams. The first one wasn't even released by Netflix initially, so it's extra crazy to see them going all-in letting Chan and his team go bigger & better for this sequel. Take a look. Here's the first teaser trailer (+ poster) for Jeff ...

Watch: Vibrant Animated Short ‘Acid Rain’ About a Girl Going to a Rave

"No idea where we are." Remember raves? Anyone miss them? After watching this short film, you might be glad they're not happening much anymore. Not always the best experience. Acid Rain is an animated short from Poland made by animation filmmaker Tomek Popakul. This first premiered in 2019 and we missed it then, but thanks to Short of the Week we have a chance to experience it now. When a runaway teenage girl meets Skinny, a peculiar drug dealer, the infatuation quickly shows its darker side. "With a sound design as impressive as its visuals, director Tomek Popakul has created an animated trip with sociopolitical layers and great beats." This girl ends up on an intense trip with psychedelic mushrooms, traveling to an underground rave in the forest where she encounters all kinds of strange people. The voice cast features Daria Bułka, Piotr Bułka, & Maciej Miszczak. It' a trippy short that runs long, but I dig the imagery and honest story. Thanks to Short of the Week for the tip on this debuting on YT. Brief synopsis for Acid Rain ...
