To be directed by Antoine Fuqua of "Equalizer" fame, the movie is an adaptation of author D Eric Maikranz's 2009 novel "The Reincarnationist Papers".

Friend, best known for starring in films such as "Pride and Prejudice", "Hitman" and "A Simple Favor", joins Wahlberg, Dylan O'Brien, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Sophie Cookson in the project.
