According to IMDb, in this new thriller, EXITZ, about the fuzzy boundaries between reality and virtual reality in video games, Stephen plays Theo Christaki, a right hand man to computer-games-tycoon Percy (played by Malcolm McDowell).

When Percy finds a beauty pageant contestant, Ravi (played by Perizaad Zorabian), for his cutting-edge inter-active virtual reality game, Theo covets her. When Percy finds a brilliant illegal Indian immigrant programmer, Murli (played by Christopher Simpson), Theo becomes jealous and angered at Murli's success. With his accomplice Aurora (played by Beth Winslet), Theo frames Murli, kidnaps him and holds him hostage.

They persuade him that he should kill their old boss Percy. They send him to kill Percy, but the program he developed puts a whole new spin on the reality of it. There is a more detailed summary of the plot at the Official Site. They also have a trailer posted over there. Maybe you will have better luck with the trailer than I did. Only the audio would play for me, and it kept pausing. But even with the pausing, it is well worth listening to, because Stephen does have a couple of lines on the trailer. Madeline Cristea had much better luck with the trailer than I did, and sent us the captures that are on this page!!! [Which was awfully nice of her, I thought.] Madeline has an art site, which includes some art with Stephen in it!! You might want to give that a look, and you might give the trailer a try, it might work better for you, as well.

The film was written by author Farooq Dhondy. It was shot on 35 mm film over the period of a month in India and London, England, UK. The budget according to IMDb was estimated to be £3,000,000. And It was supposed to be released the 15th of December of 2004. However, as of this date, none of the amazon.coms have it yet.
