This time around, Wahlberg plays Evan McCauley, whose daily life is haunted by skills he has never learned and memories of places he has never visited. Self-medicated and on the brink of a mental breakdown, Evan is sought by a secret group that call themselves “Infinites,” who reveal 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 (Ejiofor) who seeks to end all life in an effort to stop what he views as the cursed, endless cycle of reincarnation.
Infiniteis based onD. Eric Maikranz’s bookThe Reincarnationist Papers, which was adapted by screenwriterIan Shorr, who worked off a screen story byTodd Stein. The film was produced byLorenzo di Bonaventura,Mark Vahradian,Mark Huffam,John Zaozirny,Stephen Levinsonand Wahlberg, while Fuqua executive produced alongsideRafi Crohn,Brian Oliver,Bradley J.
