2011-10-29 28 Dailymotion

Justin Timberlake is back on the big screen in sci-fi thriller, "In Time".
Set in the future it's about a world where time is the currency.
People stop aging at 25 - but in order to stay alive they need to keep earning time.
SOUNDBITE: Justin Timberlake, actor, saying (English):
"The script, when I read it, I just found it to be very provocative, and you know, it made me ask a lot of questions about myself, some of which I still haven't come up with the answers for, but I like that, I like when a movie does that."
The inhabitants of the movie's world are segregated by 'time zones' according to their wealth - meaning the rich live longer while the poor die young
Justin plays Will Salas a guy from the wrong side of time who ends up inheriting a windfall of time.
He's clearly not the only famous face to watch out for - his partner in crime is played by Amanda Seyfried.
Despite being from the opposite wealth spectrum to Will they end up teaming up trying to help those less fortunate.
SOUNDBITE: Amanda Seyfried, actress, saying (English):
"The concept is pretty extreme and it's hard to take that idea and actually ground it a point where you can actually relate to it, and make it relevant to our society, so I just thought, like, it was seamless, the script was seamless. And Andrew Niccol was behind it, so it seemed like, seemed like the right thing to do."
Directed by Andrew Niccol, the action-packed, time-bending thriller is out in the US now and the UK next week.
