This is super exciting news! I love Cillian’s work and would love to see him co-star with Amanda!
Cillian Murphy, one of the key players in “Inception,” is in final negotiations to star with Amanda Seyfried and Justin Timberlake in Fox and New Regency’s “I’m.mortal,” Andrew Niccol’s latest sci-fi drama.
Strike Entertainment, the production outfit run by Marc Abraham and Eric Newman, is producing.
The story is set in the not-too-distant future, when 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, and the rest try to negotiate for their immortality.
When a poor man named Will (Timberlake, who still is negotiating his deal) is suddenly given a fortune, he becomes the target of a murder investigation and kidnaps an heiress (Seyfried) while on the run.
Murphy will play an officer from an organization known as Timekeepers and described as “precise as the time he keeps.”
The pic is eying a late September start.
