Equalizer director Antoine Fuqua may have finally found that genre movie he’s been looking for, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Fuqua is currently in talks to direct Infinite for Paramount.
The action/thriller tells the story of a group of men and women who are continuously reincarnated century-after-century to battle an evil madman bent on world destruction. The fate of the planet, it turns out, may reside with a schizophrenic man who will have to come to terms with the fact that his dreams are memories from his countless past lives.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura (the Transformers franchise) will be producing alongside Mark Vahradian, and John Zaozirny of Bellevue Productions.
Recently, Fuqua was in talks to direct a remake of Oliver Stone’s Scarface. The director seems interested and has stated publicly that he wants Denzel Washington to star in. Meawnhile, Fuqua’s latest film, Equalizer 2 became a surprise hit over the summer, with an estimated domestic total of $35.82 million for the three-day weekend. The R-rated sequel, which also starred Washington in the lead role, has surpassed the original, exceeded studio and industry expectations, and became the highest grossing opening in the director’s already impressive career.
