The film stars Brandon Routh, the actor from 'Superman Returns', and Chinese actress Zhang Yuqi.

Directed by Vincent Zhou, the film's plot is set in 2020 when a group of elite international passengers board a luxury transoceanic flight that doesn't go to plan.

The film was shot at Malaysia's Pinewood studios this spring and the visual effects were finished by UFO Internationals.

Arclight Films, which is in charge of the film's rights outside of China, says they are confident in the "Lost in the Pacific" and its ambitious release plan, due to “its international casting, story telling and the quality of production".

The film's first round of sales will start in May at the Cannes Film Festival. Meanwhile here in Asia, it has already reached seven pre-order theatrical release deals across Asia.

If it successfully picked up in the US, "Lost in the Pacific" will be the first Chinese independent sci-fi film to have a same-day release worldwide.
