Paramount Pictures’ Mark Wahlberg-fronted sci-fi thriller “Infinite” will land on streaming service Paramount Plus in key international markets.
The film, directed by Antoine Fuqua, will debut on the service in Canada, Latin America, the Nordics and Australia on Aug. 11. Currently, “Infinite” is the most-watched movie to date on the U.S. platform, said ViacomCBS.
Starring Mark Wahlberg, “Infinite” delves into the concept of reincarnation through characters who must use memories and skills from past lives to ensure the future. Alongside Wahlberg, the movie stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sophie Cookson, Jason Mantzoukas, Rupert Friend, Liz Carr, Toby Jones and Dylan O’Brien.
Originally set to premiere theatrically in August, Paramount announced earlier in May that “Infinite” would skip the big screen and debut directly on its nascent streaming service. The move was made in a bid to boost subscribers and build a serious rival to Netflix, Disney Plus and HBO Max.

One good thing that can be said about Mark Wahlberg-starring, straight-to-streaming reincarnation derby “Infinite,” in which a special group of humans are fortunate/cursed enough to recall their past lives: It’s the first film from Antoine Fuqua since “Bait” to clock in under two hours. That’s no small relief — especially given the never-ending threat of its title — in a summer where super-size offerings such as “Cruella,” “F9” and “In the Heights” are long enough to warrant intermissions.
Derivative as they come, this “The Matrix”-meets-“The Old Guard” wannabe mind-blower offers such a familiar premise — basically, that one man’s neurodiversity may actually be a window into the species’ untapped potential — as to be almost banal. That doesn’t stop excess expert Fuqua from packing a fair amount of big-screen spectacle into its relatively tight running time, though probably not enough to win many converts to fledgling...

The background of how Infinite was optioned is a fun, anecdotal tale steeped in what some might construe as fate, others simply dismiss as dumb luck. In 2009 former software developer D. Eric Maikranz self-published his debut novel The Reincarnationist Papers—the fictional memoirs of a man with memories of past lives who seeks to join a secret society of others like him—with the promise (printed on the front page) to give anyone able to put a copy into the pipeline at a Hollywood studio ten percent of the advance paid for turning it into a film. A junior executive stumbled upon a copy at a hostel, handed it off to the powers that be, and ultimately received his reward ten years later.
What interested me more as the finished product’s release approached, however, was that marketing materials have a third name between Maikranz and screenwriter Ian Shorr. “Screen...

Mark Wahlberg can do it all in his new movie “Infinite,” and he’s had centuries of practice.
Wahlberg in his new film plays a man who begins to see visions of places he’s never been or of people he’s never met, only to realize these visions are memories of his past lives. He’s part of a secret group called “Infinites” who retain their memories and abilities as they’re reincarnated, only Wahlberg’s memory has been reset, but he can still wield a mean sword or pack a punch like no one else. He now has to fight to save humanity and the world from an old rival Infinite who seeks to end all life and stop the endless cycle of reincarnation.
All of that culminates in one incredible sequence near the end of this final trailer, in which Wahlberg rides a speeding motorcycle off a...

Paramount Plus has released the first official trailer for “Infinite,” a star-studded sci-fi thriller starring Mark Wahlberg and directed by Antoine Fuqua. Previously slated for a summer blockbuster release this August, the movie became another victim of the theatrical-to-streaming shuffle when Paramount sold the flick to the newly rebranded Viacom CBS streaming service, where it will be available for all subscribers to watch at home on June 10.
Based on D. Eric Maikranz’s 2009 fantasy novel “The Reincarnationist Papers,” “Infinite” follows Evan McCauley (Wahlberg), a self destructive man who is haunted by memories of skills he has never learned and places he has never visited. When he discovers a secret group that call themselves “Infinites,” he learns that his memories are real, but they are from multiple past lives. The Infinites invite Evan into their world, a centuries-old secret society made up of 28 others who are just like him, and he realizes he is not alone.

According to a press release, Ric Roman Waugh (whose latest film, Snitch, hits theaters in early 2013) has been hired by Relativity Media to rewrite and direct a science fiction thriller being called Tipping Point. So what comic book is it based off of? Or dated novel that’s just found a resurgence? Or unpublished manuscript that’s about to hit the Best Seller List? It’s based on nothing. The original work from the brain of newcomer Todd Stein focuses on a future where the population of the planet is groping at 10 billion, and society has taken China’s One-child Policy and run with it — promising death if you procreate without the proper paperwork. All of that’s well and good for one Population Control Officer, until he finds out he’s chasing (with intent to kill) a former lover and his 12-year-old son he didn’t know existed. It’s a great time for original sci-fi...

Rising writer-director Ric Roman Waugh has had an unconventional path to the director's chair. For more than a decade, he was a stuntman in films like Tango & Cash and Total Recall, but in 1996, he broke into work behind-the-scenes, snagging a job as a second unit director on a TV movie. Since then he's written and directed a string of little known crime movies like In the Shadows, Felon, and Snitch, a Dwayne Johnson vehicle that's set to debut in in 2013. While his latest feature has had some struggles in securing a release date, it seems Snitch is solid enough to secure Waugh new work, as Relativity has just snagged him for Tipping Point. THR reports Waugh has signed on to direct the sci-fi thriller. He is also being asked to rewrite the original screenplay penned by Todd Stein. The story is set 100 years from now in a dystopian future where...

Relativity Media has closed a deal with Felon and Snitch director Ric Roman Waugh to helm and rewrite sci-fi thriller that is currently titled Tipping Point.
A tense, riveting sci-fi is based on the original draft from Todd Stein (2:22).
A short story Tipping Point, which was published in 2010 on Mulholland Books’ Popcorn Fiction site paints an ominous picture of the world 100 years into the future. The world’s population approaches 10 billion and having children without a license is punishable by death. On the other side, the dedicated officer Solomon Cage discovers two fugitives he’s been pursuing are the love of his life who mysteriously disappeared years ago and the 12-year-old son he never knew he had.
You can read the entire short story on PopcornFiction.com and here is an excerpt from the beginning:
Twelve Billion. That was the tipping point. That number was officially hit on September 18, 2018, the day everything changed.

Want to see Larry David play a nun? How about a nun named Mother Mengele? Then you'll need a ticked for the Farrelly Brothers' The Three Stooges. Larry David was rumored to play one of the Stooges for some time, but now he'll be "the unfortunate nun who runs the orphanage where the Stooges grow up and learn to create mayhem." This particular casting is the best thing about the movie so far, and has probably earned my ticket no matter what else I read or see about it. As for the rest of the cast, Chris Diamantopoulos will play Moe, Will Sasso will be Curly, and Sean Hayes is Larry. Jane Lynch is Mother Superior, another nun at the orphanage, and Sofia Vergara plays a femme fatale. [Deadline [1]] After the break, Armie Hammer is attached to a new thriller and the gambling comedy/memoir Lay the Favorite gets a new man.

A great way to make an impression on Hollywood is to take a co-starring role in a prestige picture that has potential to win a few Oscars. Film gets exposure, you get exposure -- everyone wins!
An even better way to make an impression on Hollywood? Taking Two co-starring roles in a prestige picture. That was Armie Hammer's strategy when he signed up for double duty as the Winklevoss twins in David Fincher's "The Social Network" -- and now the work is paying off in spades.
Hammer is racking up projects by the truck load -- he's currently shooting a part opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Clint Eastwood's "J. Edgar," he recently locked the part of the Prince in Tarsem's "The Brothers Grimm: Snow White" and is eying "The Lone Ranger" -- and has now been set to star in the new psychological thriller, "2:22."
