Cillian Murphy joins Andrew Niccol’s I’M.MORTAL
It’s about time we learn more about the follow up to 2005’s LORD OF WAR, from director Andrew Niccol.
The film, entitled I'M.MORTAL, will feature both Justin Timberlake (who will hopefully prove he’s got some true acting talent in the upcoming David Fincher film, THE SOCIAL NETWORK) and the always wonderful Amanda Seyfried, and according to THR, the cast just got a little bigger. Find out how, after the break.
The outlet is reporting that Cillian Murphy (last seen in this year’s fantastic film, INCEPTION), has joined the film’s cast and will play a “timekeeper.” I'M.MORTAL takes place in a world where “time has become currency. The rich are immortal, while the rest struggle to stay alive. When a rebel (Timberlake) from the ghetto is falsely accused of murdering a wealthy man for his time, he is forced to go on the run with a beautiful hostage (Seyfried). Together, this duo rages against the system, living minute to minute. They discover that love is more powerful than all the time in the world."
From the sounds of the report, Murphy sounds like he may be taking up the role of villain for the hotly anticipated film, although the exact description of what his role will entail has been kept under wraps. Personally though, I think the idea of a new sci-fi film from the mind of the creator of GATTACA has me more excited than any casting news could really do. I’m not much of a fan of any of Niccol’s post-GATTACA work, so hopefully this could be a return to form for the former wunderkind filmmaker.
