“Jennifer’s Body” star Amanda Seyfried will headline Andrew Niccol’s latest sci-fi movie, the immortality-themed “I’m Mortal”.
Film revolves around a society in which aging stops at the age of 25–meaning that every role in “mortal” will be played by actors in their mid-20s.
In “mortal,” time has become the currency. The rich are immortal, while the rest struggle to stay alive.
When a rebel from the ghetto is falsely accused of murdering a wealthy man for his time, he is forced to go on the run with 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.
Niccol, of “Truman Show” and “Gattaca” fame, wrote the script and will also direct. The male lead is still uncast.
