The 1905 film Infinite, starring Mark Wahlberg and directed by Anthony Fuqua, set a release date. The film will land on Paramount+, Paramount's streaming platform, on June 10 this year. This is the first exclusive original super blockbuster since the establishment of Paramount+, so it is a milestone.
"Infinity" is adapted from the novel by D. Eric Maikranz's novel The Reincarnationist Papers focuses on an evil madman who is determined to destroy the world, and the fate of the entire human race is pinned on a schizophrenic man who often has nightmares, but those dreams are the memories of his reincarnation. It turned out that the evil madman would be reincarnated every century, and in order to resist him, a group of male and female warriors would also reincarnate once a century and fight with him. According to the plan, the film will be produced by Transformers producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, and Paramount hopes to turn it into a new series of films.
Previously, the producers intended to let the US team Chris Evans star in the film. However, before the film started, he left the crew. As for the specific reasons why Chris Evans left the crew, there is news speculation that the film and the TV series "Defending Jacobs" created by Apple TV collided in the production cycle, so the US team had to withdraw from Fuquia's film. Paramount+ is an emerging streaming platform. In the platform's plans, 52 exclusive films will be released in 2022. In addition, paramount+ will be available 30-45 days after the release of new movies such as A Quiet Place 2, Top Gun 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Transformers 7 and Mission Impossible 7.
