Shooting began a few days ago on Andrew Niccol's (Gattaca, Lord of War) latest film, which was originally titled I'm.Mortal and is now called, well, Now. Starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried (what isn't she in?), the premise makes for an engaging thriller:

From IMDb:
"In the not-too-distant future the aging gene has been switched off. 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 who comes into a fortune of time, though too late to help his mother from dying. He ends up on the run from a corrupt police force known as 'time keepers'."Gattaca addressed eugenics and genetic discrimination in the near future. The concepts were thought-provoking; the film was also visually striking so we're thrilled to hear Niccol is teaming up for the first time with one of our favorite cinematographers, Roger Deakins (Shawshank Redemption, The Assassination of Jesse James, Barton Fink). Deakins has shot well over 50 films (including almost all Coen Bros. movies), but he hasn't done much sci-fi. Add to that Timberlake's last album was called FutureSex/LoveSounds and we're definitely looking forward to seeing what this new collaborative team does together.
