Director Andrew Niccol rocked our worlds with The Truman Show and Gattaca , and now he ’s back with the dystopian thriller In Time , due out in late October . We just run across footage from the film , which is a thinking somebody ’s mega - thriller .
raider onward …
Niccol brought the first footage we ’ve seen from In Time , and it looked like a high - octane thrill - ride where a almost bald Justin Timberlake hangs on by his fingertips in the centre of a dangerous future tense where your life anticipation is write on your wrist .
As Niccol excuse , in the human race of In Time , you stop aging at 25 age old — but the big news is that you ’re genetically organise to die after one more year . So you have to take in time or steal time , to determine another way to keep living . Everyone is engineer to have a eubstance clock on his or her wrist , “ and the melodic theme is this innovation is the end of all other invention . ” Because the poor are always in risk of dying within a day if their time runs out , they can never innovate . And the rich can hold up for century of years , and they have no penury to keep innovating .
So we saw a immense sizzle reel , which essentially narrated the integral plot of ground of the pic . It ’s the recent 21st 100 and “ fourth dimension has replace money as the unit of currency , ” as the caption excuse . “ At 25 years sometime , mature stop , and you have one more twelvemonth to live , unless you replenish your clock . ”
We see the shaven - headed Timberlake , waking up with less than a day to know , and then he finds out that a loving cup of coffee tree now cost four minute of life instead of three mo . He move to work at the factory , but at the last of the day they reveal that he has n’t adjoin his quota — he produced as much as before , but the quota has die up . So he ’s left without enough clip to last . And Timberlake wishes he could make up “ more than time on my hand . ” We keep see his wrist joint with the digital read - out of his short time that ’s stay . We also see a drained man in the street , with nothing but nought on his wrist .
Then there ’s a rich guy wire in a bar , who has 100 days to experience on his wrist . Some gangster need to slip the guy ’s year , but Timberlake deliver him and necessitate him to a safe station . Timberklake upbraids the guy for flashing that many years in such a peaked dive , but the guy cable allege he ’s 105 years sometime and after a while just keeping on living seems wasted . While Timberlake eternal sleep , the guy transfers his 100 years to Timberlake , then leaves a note : “ Do n’t waste my time . ”
regrettably , nobody will conceive the racy bozo gave his 100 years to Timberlake volitionally , so the cops ( conduce by Cilian Murphy ) are after Timberlake . He go on the run and winds up in the gate community for the super - rich , New Greenwich Village , where he meets a millionaire played by Vincent Kartheiser . He also run into Kartheiser ’s young and beautiful mother , wife and girl — the latter of whom is Amanda Seyfried . When the cops catch up with up with Timberlake , he puts a gun to Seyfried ’s head and run .
They go on the run , and at first Seyfried is just Timberlake ’s surety . He distinguish her he ca n’t let her get away because she ’s keeping him alive . But finally , she recognise that people everywhere are dying so she and her family can be immortal . She ’s always shut her eyes to the toll of her immortality . As Timberlake say , “ No - one should be immortal if even one person has to conk . ”
Timberlake and Seyfried start stealing years , Bonnie - and - Clyde - expressive style , and cave in them style to poor people . Kartheiser warns that if you put enough time in the wrong hand , it will upset the whole organisation . And Timberlake says he hopes so . As someone says : “ His crime was n’t acquire clock time , it was giving it off . ”
The overall depression of the footage is of splashy exciting fun , with Timberlake and Seyfried living dangerously and staying on the streamlet , with fate of dotty elevator car stunt and gunplay and jumping off stuff . It ’s a totally harebrained activeness movie with a really high conception , and with a cast that includes Murphy and Kartheiser , it looks like a lot of fun .
Timberlake came out and told us he was a huge fan of Niccol ’s movies , especially Gattaca and Truman Show . And he loved motion-picture show like The Fugitive , about an ordinary hombre who ’s put into extraordinary circumstances and does sinful things .
“ It seemed nerveless to me to have this character that was in this setting in the future , just an average guy stress to continue animated , ” enunciate Timberlake . And he said his favourite vista involve Cillian Murphy ’s character interrogating him and judge to get under his skin , after he ’s accused of defeat the rich guy for his 100 years .
