In Time

'In Time' is an upcoming science fiction thriller scheduled to be released in late October of this year. The film is being distributed by 20th Century Fox and is written and directed by Andrew Niccol. The all star cast is lead by Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried.

The plot of this film is in a retro-future when the aging gene has been switched off, people must pay to stay alive. People stop aging at 25 years old. However, stamped on their arm is a clock of how long they will live. To avoid overpopulation, time has become the currency and the way people pay for luxuries and necessities. The rich can live forever, while the rest try to negotiate for their immortality. Justin Timberlake stars as Will Salas, a poor young man who is accused of murder when he inherits a fortune of time from a dead upper class man. He is forced to go on the run from a corrupt FBI-like police force known as 'Timekeepers'. Seyfried plays Sylvia Weis, an already wealthy young women who helps Salas as he tries to prove his innocence.


Other notable cast members are Olivia Wilde (from Tron) who will play Salas's mother, which is strange considering Timberlake is actually older than Wilde in real life, but i guess that is allowed in a movie where no one ages past 25. Cillian Murphy from Batman Begins and Red Eye will play one of the Timekeepers hunting down Salas. As well Matt Borner, Alex Pettyfer and Johnny Galecki will all be apart of the film. Filming began late last year in Los Angeles. The writer/director Andrew Niccol is  from New Zealand and has films such as The Truman Show, The Terminal and Lord of War under his belt. All these films were box office successes and had received a positive reception, so things are looking good for this upcoming futuristic thriller.
Check out the trailer for yourself, which does a good job of explaining the main concept.
