Because it's about time someone did!
A very different take on mutants and superheroes
Code 8 - Short Film [2016]
Check out the indiegogo campaign at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/code-8-a-film-from-robbie-stephen-amell/x/11540554#/ A desperate young man possessing special powers clashes with a militarized police force after committing a petty crime. Code 8 is an action/science fiction short film, produced as a proof of concept for a feature film version to be filmed later this year.
I posted this over in /legendarium as well, but I thought you guys would enjoy it as well since it so clearly overlaps with the X-Men but in a totally different way. Hope it's okay to share it even though it isn't actually about the X-Men. This is a very human and grounded take on mutants with powers—no costumes or supervillains or destroying skyscrapers—and it's so good. Seriously, it's hard to make me sit still for 10 minutes on the internet, but this had me captivated.




Oh! And I'm so excited because it might become a full and actual feature-length movie!! Their indiegogo campaign looks like it's doing great so far.
