Only an hour ago we posted the first look posters for Andrew Niccol’s In Time, a film which our man at Comic-Con called a “Modern day Robin Hood where Justin Timberlake steals time and gives it to the poor!” which is a neat summation of the premise of director Andrew Niccol’s film.

In a future where life can be bought and the rich live forever Justin Timberlake takes wealthy person Amanda Seyfried hostage when he is accused of murder. In the film time is a commodity to be bought and sold so everyone, if rich enough, can live forever as long as they get their ‘time injections’ – sort of like temporal vampires. Thus everyone looks 25 no matter how old they are giving a decent visual gimmick and just as with his previous sci-fi effort Gattaca there’s bound to be larger moral and ethical questions asked here.

Not that this footage suggests that. It looks like a sci-fi thriller which instead of a briefcase of money has a Logan’s Run type time indicator on each person’s arm. Also, it gives quite a lot away, but it’s still good to see how the conceit is used in small details.

Still looking forward to this one, though perhaps slightly less so now. It’s with us November 1st in the UK.
