If you’ve got a fear of heights, look away now, because Lionsgate is doing something crazy for their fan screenings of Fall 2: Deadpoint. The studio just announced two immersive screenings of the film in Los Angeles this week, which will put audiences to the test, both emotionally and physically.
Attendees at both screenings won’t be watching Fall 2 from a regular theater seat, but from an elevated platform, which they must stand on for the entire length of the film. Their balance and endurance will be tested as they experience the thrills and tension of the new sequel, begging just one question: who will be the last person standing?
The upcoming sequel is directed by Jigsaw and Predestination helmers Michael and Peter Spierig, with original Fall writer-director Scott Mann co-writing the script with Jonathan Frank. The film, the first of two sequels greenlit by Capstone Studios after the success of Fall, is produced by Mark Lane and James Harris of Tea Shop Productions, Capstone’s Christian Mercuri, David Haring, and Mann.. Executive producers include Dan Asma, John Long, Roman Viaris, Capstone’s Ruzanna Kegeyan. The film’s synopsis is as follows:
Overwhelmed by her sister Hunter’s death, Jax (Slater) connects with Luce (Thomas), Hunter’s fearless friend. To heal, they attempt the infamous plank walk of Mount Kwan in Thailand. After a sudden rockslide leaves them stranded on a fragile plank 3000 feet in the air, Jax must confront her deepest fears and fight for survival to find closure.
The original Fall was a smash hit both critically and commercially, earning over $20 million at the global box office on a budget of only $3 million. Original writer-director Mann is set to return behind the camera to both direct and pen the third installment of the franchise.
Fall 2: Deadpoint hits theaters on September 2.
