I honestly have no idea why I am pumped to check out IN TIME, it just looks like a good time (oh pun).
Well if you aren’t sold on the film yet, a brand new little featurette has been released and it explains how the film works. If you were wondering how in the world Olivia Wilde could play Justin Timberlake’s mother, well this video has the answer.
Welcome to a world where time has become the ultimate currency. You stop aging at 25, but there’s a catch: you’re genetically-engineered to live only one more year, unless you can buy your way out of it. The rich “earn” decades at a time (remaining at age 25), becoming essentially immortal, while the rest beg, borrow or steal enough hours to make it through the day. When a man from the wrong side of the tracks is falsely accused of murder, he is forced to go on the run with a beautiful hostage. Living minute to minute, the duo’s love becomes a powerful tool in their war against the system.
I actually dig this premise, and I do think Andrew Niccol has some radical ideas. I loved GATTACA and I hope this has more in common with that film. Check the video out below, the film is out Friday.
Wilde (below) and Timberlake star alongside Amanda Seyfried, Johnny Galecki, Matt Bomer, Cillian Murphy, Shyloh Oostwald, Colin McGurk, Will Harris and Vincent Kartheiser.
