(China Plus) Battle of Memories, a sci-fi crime thriller, is hitting Chinese cinemas starting from today (April 28th).
The story is set in 2025, after a memory-manipulation operation has been popularized across the world.
The Battle of Memories sees a reunion between veteran actor Huang Bo and director Leste Chen, following their collaboration in the film 101st Marriage Proposal in 2013.
The film cast also stars Duan Yihong, and 42-year old actress Xu Jinglei who returns to the big screen after an absence of several years.
The 20-million-dollar movie tells the story of a famous novelist who tries to recover from a painful divorce by having parts of his memories wiped.
The novelist finds himself loaded with the memories of a serial killer when he tries to recover the ones he lost.
In 2014, Leste Chen directed mystery-thriller The Great Hypnotist, which earned 274 million yuan at the Chinese box office. The total was a record-breaking amount for a domestic thriller at the time.
