Amanda Seyfried will star alongside Justin TimberlakeCreative Commons
The feature film 'Now' formerly titled "I'm.Mortal" is currently in production and casting for extras is ongoing throughout filming. The project is being directed by Andrew Niccol and stars Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried. The 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).
New Regency Pictures picked up the high-priority project last spring. Marc Abraham, Eric Newman, Thomas A. Bliss and Kristel Laiblin will also produce for Strike Entertainment. Twentieth Century Fox will distribute. Filming will continue through January 14, 2011 in Los Angeles.
Andrew Niccol also wrote and directed the films Gattaca, S1m0ne, and Lord of War. He also wrote and co-produced The Truman Show, which earned him an Academy Award nomination for best original screenplay in 1999 and won him a BAFTA award for Best Screenplay. His next project will be The Host, a film adapted from Stephenie Meyer's novel.

Story:
The story is set in the not-too-distant future where 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. The protagonist is a poor young man who comes into a fortune of time, though too late to help his mother from dying. He ends up on the run from a corrupt police force known as "time keepers."
