What is Fortune About?
While any information about the new film is strictly under wraps, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Fortune is described as Memento meets Raiders of the Lost Ark. Refresh your memory about both films below:
Memento Synopsis
Leonard Shelby is a man who suffers from anterograde amnesia, resulting in short-term memory loss and the inability to form new memories. When his wife is raped and murdered, Shelby uses a system of photographs, handwritten notes, and tattoos in an attempt to uncover the perpetrator.
Although he can remember details of life before his accident, he cannot recall the past fifteen minutes, where he’s going, or why.
Raiders of the Lost Ark Synopsis
Set in 1936, Indiana Jones, an intrepid archaeologist, is in a race against a band of Nazis to recover the long-lost Ark of the Covenant, said to make an army invincible. Jones must overcome his snake phobia and vengeful ex-girlfriend on a journey that often places him inches away from peril.
