Mark Wahlberg's Antoine Fuqua-Directed Sci-Fi Flick INFINITE to Head Straight to Paramount+ Upon Release

Mark Wahlberg is headed our way, starring in the upcoming sci-fi flick Infinite that is being directed by Antoine Fuqua. The pic just got a straight to Paramount+ order, beefing up the draw of the new streamer. The film is described as “a high-octane sci-fi action film that delves into the concept of reincarnation through spectacular visuals and nuanced characters who must use memories and skills from past lives to ensure the future.”

Wahlberg is joined in the cast by Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sophie Cookson, Jason Mantzoukas, Rupert Friend, Liz Carr, Toby Jones and Dylan O’Brien. Infinite is based on the book The Reincarnationist Papers by D. Eric Maikranz, and has a screen story by Todd Stein and a screenplay by Ian Shorr.

Here’s the full synopsis:

For Evan McCauley (Mark Wahlberg), skills he has never learned and memories of places he has never visited haunt his daily life. Self-medicated and on the brink of a mental breakdown, Evan is sought by a secret group that call themselves “Infinites,” revealing to him that his memories may be real—but they are from multiple past lives. The Infinites bring Evan into their extraordinary world, where a gifted few are given the ability to be reborn with their memories and knowledge accumulated over centuries. With critical secrets buried in his past, Evan must work with the Infinites to unlock the answers in his memories in a race against time to save humanity from one of their own (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who seeks to end all life to stop what he views as the cursed, endless cycle of reincarnation.

By 2022, Paramount+ has plans to release one original movie every single week. In addition to that, Paramount films that do go to theaters – like the upcoming A Quiet Place Part II and Top Gun: Maverick – will land on Paramount+ just 45 days after they hit theaters. Infinite is set to hit Paramount+ on Thursday, June 10th. Are you excited to check this movie out?
