Stephen Amell & Robbie Amell 'Code 8' Interview

Stephen Amell & Robbie Amell 'Code 8' Interview

As stars of The CW's Arrow and The Flash, Stephen Amell and Robbie Amell are no strangers to the world of superheroes. But outside of a brief exchange in an Arrowverse crossover, the cousins have never shared that world together. That is, until Code 8, the feature film directed by Jeff Chan and written by Chris Pare that began as a self-financed short film. In addition to starring, both Amells served as executive producers on the feature, which takes place in a near-future where the 4% of the population born with superpowers scrape by under the poverty line.

Stephen and Robbie stopped by the Collider studio to talk about how Code 8 came to be. During our chat, we discussed the old-school approach to getting the film made, shooting the feature "guerilla-style", the importance of original ideas in the superhero genre, how the themes of the film only resonated more and more as production went on, and a whole lot more. Plus, Stephen offered a tease for Arrow's final episode coming up in January, including the "action sequence to end all action sequences."

Check out what they had to say in the player above, and below is exactly what we talked about. Code 8 is in theaters and on-demand Friday, December 13.
