    In Time

    In a retro-future when the aging gene has been switched off, people must pay to stay alive. People stop aging at 25 years old. However, stamped on their arm is a clock of how long they will live. 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. A poor young man is accused of murder when he inherits a fortune of time from a dead upper class man. He is forced to go on the run from a corrupt police force known as 'time keepers'.

    Release date - October 28, 2011

    I have to be honest, that looks pretty good, and with a very nice cast.

    But it will be incredibly cliche riddled - and looks so from the trailer.

    High concept premise - wish I'd thought of that.


    Edit: Except with the addition of time as a currency.

    It's Logan's Run.

    Edit Back: didn't say it lacked innovation and some nifty updates for the modern audience. In fact, as a fan of Logan's Run I'll be geeking awfully when I see it. If Anthony Hopkins shows up in the 11th hour in Peter Ustinov's role, I may just melt.

    Interesting concept, but what an awful trailer. I know that in these days they tend to show the best parts of the movie, but this one actually summarized it probably without a few last minutes.

    Will watch it. The time idea needs to not be superficial, so that it can simply be substituted with wealth. It needs to be distinct from Robin Hood, as some of the youtube comments were saying.

    Saw Bryce Larkin chillin' in the trailer.
