Synopsis:  In the chilling suspense thriller GONE, Jill Parrish (Amanda Seyfried) comes home from a night shift to discover her sister Molly has been abducted. Jill, having escaped from a kidnapping a year before, is convinced that the same serial killer has come back and taken Molly. Since the killer leaves no trace, the police don't have any evidence and can't help her. Afraid that Molly will be dead by sunrise, Jill sets out alone on a nail-biting chase to come face-to-face with the killer. Will she have enough time to find and outwit him, expose his secrets and save her sister?

This Monday, which coincidentally happens to be Halloween, Earth's human population is expected to actually hit seven billion living, breathing, eating people.  Rather than contemplate the seemingly inevitable Malthusian catastrophe that this staggering figure might just presage, let's all agree to focus on what's really important: weekend box office estimates.  The last weekend before an unfortunate Monday Halloween saw three new wide releases hitting theaters, and according to the estimated grosses, Dreamworks Animation's Shrek spin-off Puss in Boots handily and predictably earned the greatest amount of the three.  The science-fiction allegory In Time opened in third, while Johnny Depp's passion project The Rum Diary kept it low key in fifth place.  All in all, a pretty quiet weekend.

Opening in theaters on October 28th is the new sci-fi thriller from Gattaca writer/director Andrew Niccol called In Time. The film stars an excellent cast of young actors including Justin Timberlake (The Social Network), Amamda Seyfried (Dear John), Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins), Olivia Wilde (Tron: Legacy), Matt Bomer (TV's White Collar), Alex Pettyfer (I Am Number Four), Johnny Galecki (TV's The Big Bang Theory), and Vincent Kartheiser (TV's Mad Men). 

At Comic-Con International in San Diego earlier this year, IAR's managing editor Jami Philbrick had a chance to speak with director Andrew Niccol, as well actors Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried about their new film In Time. The two actors and the director discuss the new film, it's intricate plot, fast paced chases, Seyfried's natural talent, Timberlake's reasons for making the movie, and its close relationship to Gattaca.   

Fourteen years ago, Andrew Niccol made a class-conscious science fiction allegory with Gattaca, which envisioned a future divided between those who've been genetically modified and those who haven't.  His next class-conscious sci-fi tale is In Time, and it'll be arriving theatrically in less than two weeks.  It's set in a near future where nobody ages past 25, but from that point on, they're living on borrowed time within a system that has replaced money with time.  The poor die young, the rich life forever. 

All this conceptual information is conveyed in one of two new clips from the film.  In the first, Justin Timberlake gambles with Vincent Kartheiser, who spouts a whole lot of on-the-nose information, and in the second, Timberlake kidnaps Amanda Seyfried, punches a bunch of nameless guards, and gets into a car chase.  Basically, the two clips form a comprehensive two-part argument to see the movie, first with the concept and second with the promise of action.

It's Friday, and as Loverboy so memorably sang, "Everybody's workin' for the weekend."  As everybody prepares to go off on the figurative deep end, we here at IAR would like the spice up the last day of the work week by sharing a rare supercut that actually gets better as it goes along and is not simply a waste of time.  This particular video is a compilation of characters from all manner of movie saying – and frequently screaming at full volume – the words "Shut up."

The supercut contains many of the finest actors from several generations and a lot of unexpected appearances, including the likes of Michael Caine, Gene Hackman, Tom Hanks, Julianne Moore, Al Pacino, Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Amanda Seyfried, Helena Bonham Carter, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Leonardo DiCaprio, Edward Norton, Shirley MacLaine, and of course, Samuel L. Jackson.  Several actors even make multiple appearances.

Since San Diego Comic-Con, a few official trailers have made their way online promoting In Time, the upcoming stylish science fiction action picture starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried.  A brand new international trailer debuted today, and it's the best of the bunch, basically rolling the previous trailers, with their differing emphases on concept and action, into one very promising mega-trailer.

The preview nicely conveys the premise of a near future in which money has been replaced by units of time.  Everyone is youthfully good-looking, since they're genetically engineered not to physically age past the age of twenty-five (this is why, just this once, Olivia Wilde can convincingly play Justin Timberlake's mom, despite being several years younger than him), but after they hit that quarter-century mark, everyone is on borrowed time.  The poor earn minutes and hours at a time, while the wealthy live forever with stashes of hundreds of years.

Synopsis: When Will Salas is falsely accused of murder, he must figure out a way to bring down a system where time is money - literally - enabling the wealthy to live forever while the poor, like Will, have to beg, borrow, and steal enough minutes to make it through another day.

Just a few days ago, 20th Century Fox released a trailer for In Time online, putting the oh-so attractive cast front and center and allowing us to glory in the genetic magnificence that produces good-looking people like Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Olivia Wilde, and Cillian Murphy.  While it was a solid trailer, it subsequently disappeared without a trace.

Good news, though, as it has been replaced by an even better trailer that more effectively lays out the rules of writer-director Andrew Niccol's clever riff on Logan's Run.  Basically, in his future, nobody ages above 25 years old, but all time after that has to be earned like a currency, meaning that the rich essentially live forever at their physical peak while the poor die early. 

At Comic-Con International in San Diego on Thursday the cast and crew of In Time appeared in Hall H to discuss their new film. On hand were the film's stars Justin Timberlake (Bad Teacher), and Amanda Seyfried (Dear John), as well as director Andrew Niccol (Gattaca). 

IAR had a chance to catch up with Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, and director Andrew Niccol after their panel on Thursday to discuss the upcoming film.

At San Diego Comic-Con last week, 20th Century Fox rolled out the first trailer for the science fiction actioner In Time, starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried.  The trailer laid out the concept of a future in which money has been replaced by units of time, so after the age of 25, the time-rich can live forever, while everyone else scrabbles and works to make enough time to stay alive.  Timberlake's normal guy character stumbles into a possession of an ungodly amount of time and ends up on the run, and a new trailer released today contains plenty of action, while introducing Olivia Wilde as Timberlake's mother and the weirdness of everyone having little green clocks on their forearms.
