Two more names join Timberlake and Seyfried in Andrew Niccol’s Now

NOW, Andrew Niccol’s high-concept futuristic fairy tale, is starting to resemble an issue of “Teen Beat” – or whatever the hell it is teenage girls read nowadays. In addition to Justin Timberlake, the flick has now added two more slices of pretty-boy: Matt Bomer and Alex Pettyfer. Hey, at least the fellas still have Amanda Seyfried to gawk at. (Peep some photos of her and Timberlake on the set right HERE.)

Bomer you might recognize from THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING; the dude played one of the severely unlucky protagonists at the center of that shitty film. He can currently be seen on the USA network’s “White Collar”. Meanwhile, Pettyfer is perhaps best known to you as the dude in that BEAUTY AND THE BEAST update, BEASTLY. He’s also the lead in Dreamworks’ upcoming sci-fi flick I AM NUMBER FOUR.

Set in the not-too-distant future, the aging gene has been switched off. 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.

Storyline follows a rebel from the ghetto (Timberlake) who is falsely accused of murdering a wealthy man for his time, and goes on the run with a beautiful hostage (Seyfried).

NOW will hit theaters in 2012.
