Lost in the Pacific launches into Production

Arclight Films and United Exhibitor Partners announced today, at a press conference and reception in Beverly Hills, the official launch of the action-packed 3D sci-fi adventure Lost in the Pacific.

Two of the films stars, Brandon Routh (Superman Returns) and Zhang YuQi (White Deer Plain), along with director Vincent Zhou (Last Flight) were in attendance for the event.

Lost in the Pacific begins shooting in the spring of 2015 at Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios, the same facility where the award-winning Marco Polo was filmed. The film is scheduled for release toward the end of 2015.

Lost in the Pacific tells the futuristic “titanic in the sky” story of a group of elite passengers on board 2020’s inaugural luxury, transoceanic flight.

“With complex character relationships, dark, mysterious creatures all in groundbreaking 3D with top-of-the-line visual effects and a celebrated team both in front of and behind the camera, the film has all the makings of a worldwide box office hit,” said Ying Ye of Arclight Films, the company representing worldwide rights on Lost in the Pacific outside of China. Ye is also an executive producer on the film.

The celebrated international cast includes Brandon Routh, known for his roles in Superman Returns (as the lead character, Superman/Clark Kent), Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and on the CW’s current hit action-adventure, Arrow, as the male lead, and Zhang YuQi, who was recently voted “the most beautiful Asian face,” as the female lead. Zhang earned her fame in the world of cinema for her roles in the Chinese box office sensations A Hope (CJ7) and White Deer Plain.

Lost in the Pacific further boasts an award-winning VFX team that includes visual effects supervisor Bruce Jones (The Italian Job and Star Trek), art director Ian Bailie
(Atonement and Pride and Prejudice) and Scott Winig as director of photography. The visual effects team will work at Stareast Digital Lab and with Venture 3D, one
of the most respected Hollywood special effects production companies, involved in the production of such films as Titanic 3D, The Chronicles of Narnia and long list
of additional blockbuster hits.

“I am thrilled to be working with such an amazingly talented cast and the exceptional team behind-the-scenes on Lost in the Pacific,” said Zhou. “We will bring an adventure of monumental proportions to audiences all over the world that will keep them on the edge of their seats until the very end, and even after they leave the theatre.”
