A former music videos director, Antoine Fuqua has become one of the most interesting action-thriller movies director of the last years in Hollywood. Since his feature film debut The Replacement Killers (1998) he has been behind the cameras in hit titles including Bait (2000), Training Day (2001), Tears of the Sun (2003), King Arthur (2004), Shooter (2007), Brooklyn’s Finest (2009), Olympus Has Fallen (2013), The Equalizer (2014) and its sequel The Equalizer 2 (2018), and the remake of Akira Kurosawa’s classic The Magnificent Seven (2016). Now, he debuts in the terrains of science-fiction with an action-packed thriller entitled Infinite (2021).
Not much is known about the plot for Infinite (2021), but we know it is an action-thriller and science-fiction movie dealing with the idea of reincarnation where a man discovers that his hallucinations are visions from past lives. Because not only Christopher Nolan can make spectacular action sci-fi movies, right?
Antoine Fuqua directs a screenplay written by Ian Shorr (Splinter (2008)) and Todd Stein (2:22 (2017)), based on the 2009 novel written by D. Eric Maikranz called The Reincarnationist Papers. In the novel, a troubled young man struggles with having memories from two other lives. Believing that he is the only one in the world burdened with other people’s complete memories nearly leads to his self-destruction until he meets a mysterious woman named Poppy. She understands Evan’s struggle because she is exactly like him, only she remembers seven lives. Poppy changes Evan’s world forever when she invites him into a centuries-old secret society of 28 others who are like them and he realizes that he is not alone. The Reincarnationists, collectively known as the Cognomina, recall all their past lives and experiences and find one another over and over again in each new incarnation. But to become part of this secretive group, Evan must first prove that he is truly one of them.
The main cast in Infinite (2021) is formed by Mark Wahlberg, Sophie Cookson, Dylan O’Brien, Jason Mantzoukas, Rupert Friend, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Toby Jones, Wallis Day, Tom Hughes, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Kae Alexander, and Liz Carr.
The movie was originally scheduled for a theatrical release on August 7, 2020, but was delayed to May 28, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On May 6, 2021, Paramount canceled the movie’s theatrical release. The film is instead set to be released on Paramount+ on June 10, 2021. Watch here the official trailer for Infinite (2021).
