ECHO 8 Trilogy: New Teaser And Stills Debut As Post-Production Fundraising Kicks Off

Barring whatever the future holds for the Echo 8 saga, the latest two installments are well on the way from film duo Maria Tran and Takashi Hara, and now they need your help to bring the trilogy to the finish line. Crowdfunding is underway for the back-to-back prequel and sequel starring and directed by Tran and Hara, all which now come with a raft of first look stills, as well as a first look teaser for the prequel, Echo 8: Five By Five, which is expected to hit festival crowds later this year ahead of a 2026 release.

Written by Elizabeth H. Vu, Echo 8: Five-By-Five, unfolds as a brooding thriller, featuring Hara reprising his antagonistic role from the inaugural 2021 film, Echo 8; Part three, Echo 8: Beyond, shifts gears into action-comedy territory, bringing Tran’s character back into the spotlight as the former member of a clandestine organization of assassins, now rogue and on a mission to protect someone she loves. Both films wrapped principal photography in April after cranking up in January.
