  "account": "Two special screenings of the upcoming Fall 2: Deadpoint will place audiences on elevated platforms while they watch the movie, testing their balance and endurance as the tension builds on screen. The screenings will occur on August 22nd as an activation aimed at evoking the fear of heights, exposure, vulnerability, and survival that define the film. Attendees will be required to remain on the ledge throughout the entire movie, just like the screenings for the first Fall film, which is now available on Amazon. The Spierig Brothers, known for The Long Walk, will direct Fall 2, starring Harriet Slater, Arsema Thomas, and Tom Brittney. The movie follows a new setting of a perilous climb across Thailand's Mount Kwan, where two climbers find themselves trapped thousands of feet above the ground, facing vertigo-inducing heights, sheer exposure, and impossible odds. Fall 2 will be released in theaters starting September 2nd, but viewers will have to watch it in a traditional seated position.",
