Infinite: Exclusive Mark Wahlberg Sci-Fi Movie Synopsis, Logo Revealed

Get ready to enter a whole new science fiction world in the upcoming Paramount Pictures movie Infinite.

IGN has the exclusive synopsis and logo reveal for the new Antoine Fuqua-directed Mark Wahlberg film, which hits theaters on August 7th, as well as the announcement of its first-of-its-kind SXSW activation, the Infinite ISM Hexadome Experience.

Based on the novel The Reincarnationists Papers, Infinite explores the idea of reincarnation and the implications that come with being reborn throughout the generations with all your memories intact through the eyes of Mark Wahlberg’s character Evan McCauley. The official synopsis for Infinite reads:

“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, a secret group that call themselves ‘Infinites’ come to his rescue, revealing to him that his memories are 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 destroy it.”

Infinite is produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers franchise, The Meg) and written by Ian Shorr and James Coyne. In addition to Wahlberg, who also serves as producer, Infinite stars Sophie Cookson, Rupert Friend, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Jason Mantzoukas, Toby Jones, Dylan O’Brien and Liz Carr. Executive producers are Fuqua and Raphael Crohn. In addition to di Bonaventura, the producers include Mark Vahradian, Mark Huffam, John Zaozirny, Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson.

To help introduce audiences to the movie’s unique world, Paramount Pictures partnered up with Little Cinema, an award-winning art collective focused on reimagining film and creating multi-disciplinary live experiences, to develop an immersive reimagining of Infinite for the ISM Hexadome in Austin, Texas at SXSW 2020. The audiovisual installation will make attendees feel the visceral experience of being an Infinite and having your memories span many lifetimes by creating a unique piece of audiovisual content composed and designed for the ISM Hexadome from hundreds of hours of uncut material from Infinite, as well as found footage discovered inside the Paramount vaults.

Designed by the Institute of Sound & Music in Berlin, the ISM Hexadome is comprised six giant screens, Epson advanced laser projection technology and a bespoke 52-channel Meyer Sound Labs spatial sound system, offering audiences complete, 360-degree cinematic immersion.

Demonstrating the power of shared direct experience through sound, art, film and technology, the ISM Hexadome exhibits exclusive commissioned works from artists such as Brian Eno, Thom Yorke, Suzanne Ciani, Holly Herndon, Herman Kolgen and Ben Frost.

Wahlberg shared the first photo from the set of Infinite back on September 18, 2019, showing him and Fuqua in a hanger, surrounded by a jet and a sleek Aston Martin. In the caption for the Instagram image, Wahlberg wrote, “Excited to be back with #AntoineFuqua who has an incredible vision for this high-concept, ORIGINAL action thriller…it’s a classic story of good vs. evil with an epic twist.”

Fuqua and Wahlberg previously worked together on 2007’s Shooter, which di Bonaventura also produced.
