Vertigo Releasing has announced that it will be partnering with the BFI to bring upcoming game adaptation Exit 8 to the UK’s largest cinema screen. Ahead of it’s wide release on April 24, the film will show at London’s BFI IMAX for special previews on April 11th and 12th.
In Exit 8, a man trapped in an endless sterile subway passageway sets out to find the mysterious Exit 8. The rules of his quest are simple: do not overlook anything out of the ordinary. If you discover an anomaly, turn back immediately. If you don’t, carry on. Then leave from Exit 8. But even a single oversight will send him back to the beginning. Will he ever reach his goal and escape this infinite corridor?
