There's an old saying that if you're making a play and bring a gun on stage, it needs to be fired. I personally believe that the same rule should apply to all science-fiction: if you're going to take your audience into an alternate universe or into the future, you need to define and design every single solitary aspect of that world. It's for that reason that I think we should start getting excited for Andrew Niccol's In Time.

Access Hollywood has posted a brand new trailer for the film - separate from the one that debuted last week during Comic Con. In a world where people stop aging past the age of 25 and time has become the new form of currency, Will Salas (Justin Timberlake) and Sylvia Weis (Amanda Seyfried) team up to fight against a system that sees the world's richest people live forever while the working poor die young.

Check out the trailer below.

UPDATE: It would appear something has gone a bit screwy over at Access Hollywood as the trailer seems to have been pulled. We'll have it back the second it comes up!



First off, let's get this out in the open: that bus driver is a total douche bag. Refusing a ride to Olivia Wilde and just simply letting her die? That's fucked up. That aside, this trailer definitely has me intrigued. Niccol seems to have done an intricate job of designing this new world and the plot looks strong enough to sustain it. It also doesn't hurt having Cillian Murphy as the central villain, but we knew that going in. In Time hits theaters on October 28 and for more from the film be sure to head over to our Blend Film Database.
