Shorter of Breath and One Day Closer to Death: JT, Cillian Murphy and Amanda Seyfried Heat up the In Time Trailer

Gattica director Andrew Niccol likes his science fiction sleek and pretty; after having tempted us with Jude Law, Ethan Hawke (who used to be prettier) and Uma Thurman, he’s going full on sexy with Cillian Murphy, Amanda Seyfried and Justin Timberlake. JT has proven himself to be a decent actor and one with great comedic ability, evidenced by his “SNL” appearances. The only serious films I’ve seen him in are The Social Network and Alpha Dogs, so I’m curious to see how he does in this, with what is essentially a lead role.

The premise of the In Time (previously titled I’m.mortal) is that in some future world, time has replaced money as currency and in conjunction with that concept, people start out with only 26 years of life. You age to 25 and then have one year left on your clock—if it runs down, you die. If somehow a person can get more time, he can live on. There are time rich people who live lives of luxury and poor people who have to bargain and trade to add to their lives. Will Salas (Timberlake) gets lucky with an unexpected influx of time, rousing the attention of a “Timekeeper” (Murphy) who seems to have authority over how time is doled out. Salas ends up falsely accused of murder (a setup), so he naturally grabs the prettiest chick nearby (Seyfried) and goes on the lam with the time cops hot on his trail.

Here’s the in-depth trailer which was just screened at Comic-Con:

And tell me I’m not the only one who thought it was cool to see Johnny Galecki? In Time also stars Alex Pettyfer, Olivia Wilde, Matt Bomer, Vincent Kartheiser and Elena Satine; the film will be released October 28, 2011.

"Live forever or die trying"? Isn't that what we're all trying to do?

Is it "Suck Up to Justin Timberlake Day" at Pajiba? Because this preview looks awful (as does JT -- physically -- in this film), and it gets worse the longer you watch it.

I detest JT, but love so many others in this movie that it might just be worth it.

Only here for the Pink Floyd reference.

Eh feeling to the majority of the cast... but I looooved Gattaca so must see this.

GAH, Cillian. Quit slumming it and get it together already - Justin Timberlake should be fetching your coffee at this point, you should not be playing background noise in "his" new movie. I'm getting really pissed off.
And of course I'll go see it, because you look mean and sexy in your nice leather trench coat.
GAH!!!!!

Will watch for Cillian Murphy..

Looks interesting, except pretty sure I just saw the entire movie.

Anywhoo, Alex Pettyfer with his original spice accent is delicious. I don't care he's a total doucelord in real life.

Vincent Kartheiser is so good a playing a dbag.

It seems Olivia Wilde has terrible hair in this movie as well. Seriously, her hair in the 'The Change Up' movie looks terrible. Shiny, but too much.

JT needs to bulk up ala Bale if he wants to do the serious stuff and deflate whenever he wants to do something light like FWB.

the guy can't do both with the same body coz he's no Ledger. maybe i've watched him too many times on SNL but when he looks serious, i'm expecting him to break into a giggle fit.

and i was so ready to give up on this during the first quarter of the trailer but the cast kept me going!

the forearm clock is still stupid though.

This sounds like one of the shittiest movies ever. Seriously. There's only so much disbelief I can suspend.

Posted by: Slash at July 22, 2011 7:44 PM

How in hell are any of these people supposed to look younger than 25? I never thought I'd say baby-faced Timberlake looked his age, but dude looks weathered if you try to pass him off as 23. Even Amanda Seyfried looks wonky and old with that shitty wig on. Clearly this is a Hollywood exercise in the who's-who of late-twenties actors, so why not just up the age to 30 instead? Why don't you make more movies to suit my demands, Hollywood?!

How in the hell are families raised if the average life span is 26? I still can't see JT as a dramatic actor to pull this off.

Posted by: Matt at July 22, 2011 8:06 PM

I'm probably only going to see this for the few minutes of Matthew Bomer. How on Earth did Mr. Bomer get left of the Pajiba list?

Posted by: darmatugan at July 22, 2011 8:07 PM

I already saw Logans Run.

The Timberlake hate is a mystery to me. He's a three-tool player, the way movie stars used to be. (Cagney. Kelly. Astaire.) And he's a legitimately nice guy.

So what if he started out as a Disney kid. So did Kurt Russell.

Posted by: The Mutt at July 22, 2011 9:13 PM

Neal Caffrey's dead????? Peter Burke aint putting up with this shit.

Posted by: Ja Ja Ja at July 22, 2011 9:13 PM

Will watch for Matthew Bomer.

Also Andrew Niccol wrote the Truman Show, will go see for that alone.

Posted by: Jamie at July 22, 2011 9:44 PM

Of course they can raise families. The average lifespan isn't 26, that's just when you stop aging. Didn't you see the 125-year-old, and the mother-in-law? They all look young, but were all probably a lot older. The point is you buy more ageless life once you get beyond 25.

Still looks a fairly shit movie, but Murphy might get me in, and my Seyfried soft spot.

Seems like an ingenious Hollywood contrivance to purge any and all actors older than 30 from the screen, disgusting as they are. Well done Hollywood.

Everyone can buy time. Time is for sale in most towns. Just put a quarter in a parking meter.

It crushes my soul to hear Justin Timberlake referred to as a three tool player.

Also, I'm pretty sure Cagney, Kelly and Astaire just collectively rolled over in their graves.

I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle at this point though.

Posted by: citizen_cris at July 23, 2011 10:56 AM

I'll go see it just because it's something different than the majority of movie fare these days. Kudos for trying, hope it's good.

Posted by: Rest In Peace at July 23, 2011 11:02 AM

I will give it a shot because it's not a sequel, prequel or the same old, same old. If it sucks, I'm out a few bucks and a couple hours. If that's what it takes to send a message that I'd like more original films, risky or not, then I'm okay with that.

Posted by: Reba at July 23, 2011 4:52 PM

I'm also dumbfounded by the JT hate. Astaire, Kelly and Cagney all sang pop music too citizen_cris. And JT is a genuinely nice talented dude.

I'm convinced most of the hate is derived from jealousy, and if it's not jealousy latent homosexual feelings for him.

The movie DOES look a lot like an updated Logan's Run though (albeit with a twist,) but the actors in it will definitely sway me into seeing it. And Drea since when are movies like Inception, Sunshine, 28 Days later and the Batman movies "slumming" it? Those five movies are all definitely firmly within my top twenty.

Posted by: aroorda at July 23, 2011 9:12 PM

Just because people aren't on the JT bandwagon doesn't mean they hate him. I keep reading "I don't get all this Justin hate"

I don't hate him, I just think he's mediocre.

Posted by: dinka at July 23, 2011 10:02 PM

Is this a remake of some kind? I remember seeing a movie with a similar premise something like 20 years ago.

Posted by: Chich at July 24, 2011 5:08 AM

Redhead Amanda Seyfried?

*dies*

Also, Reba point is a good one. Even if it isn't great, it's original. And even if it's awful, I can close one eye and just watch Amanda.

" Justin Timberlake should be fetching your coffee at this point, you should not be playing background noise in "his" new movie."

Amen. Please: at the most base level, Justin isn't even close to Cillian's league, lookswise.
