Writer-director Andrew Niccol’s In Time is one of the films I am most looking forward to being released at the end of the year, and now the first official images of the film showing Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried have surfaced, Collider report.
Set to be released on 1st November this year, In Time sounds like an absolutely brilliant sci-fi/thriller, set in a future in which the ageing gene has been turned off, and people trade in time in order to pay for the things they want.
Niccol, who has written and directed the film, has a stellar track record in both his writing and directing career. He made his debut back in 1997 with Gattaca, then followed this up writing the Oscar-nominated The Truman Show, which earned him a nomination for Best Screenplay, and has since made S1m0ne and the brilliant Lord of War. So it’s not difficult to see why this is a film to look forward to. His debut with Gattaca was utterly impressive, creating an incredible world in his first foray into film, and I can’t wait to see the world he creates with In Time.
Not only does the film have an excellent writer-director, it’s also supported by a really talented young cast, including Timberlake, Seyfried, Olivia Wilde, Cillian Murphy, and Alex Pettyfer. The first two official images show Timberlake and Seyfried on the run, with the second photo looking like it has the potential to be some sort of prison break, seeing the walled building and floodlights in the distance behind them.
In Time will see Timberlake and Seyfried returning to work together, after both starring in 2006’s Alpha Dog, a film I highly recommend if you haven’t seen it. Both actors have seen their fame rising in recent years, with more and more people recognising their talent, and it will be really interesting to see Timberlake lead a sci-fi/thriller film like this, that sounds like it necessitates a strong leading character. He really looks the part in these first two images, looking pretty smart suited up in the first shot.
With just over three months left until In Time is released, we can no doubt look forward to more images surfacing in the near future, and we’ll hopefully soon get a look at Wilde as well as Murphy’s character, who plays the antagonist, Timekeeper Leon. Without further ado, here are the first official images. As usual, click to enlarge.
