BATTLE OF MEMORIES: Watch The Trailer For Slick Chinese SciFi Thriller

Huang Bo takes the lead role in Battle Of Memories, the latest effort from The Great Hypnotist director Leste Chen and the result appears to be something unusual for mainland China - a slick scifi thriller in a nation where local censorship and content laws make science fiction a generally tricky proposition.

With a starting point similar to Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Battle Of Memories revolves around a famous novelist who opts to cope with his recent divorce by having a decade of his memory wiped. But when he has second thoughts and tries to recover those lost memories he instead finds himself in the mind of a serial killer.

Production values here are fantastic - which should be no surprise as backers Wanda Pictures are one of the biggest in the mainland and reportedly pumped twenty million into the production budget - and the theatrical trailer is loaded with compelling visuals. Take a look below.
