Inception star Cillian Murphy is getting ready to join Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried in Andrew Niccol's (Gattaca) sci-fi thriller I'm.mortal, reports Heat Vision Blog. While Murphy is a benevolent figure in Christopher Nolan's Inception, he's played many a bad guy in his time, most notably in Nolan's Batman Begins and Wes Craven's Red Eye. Seems like he'll be doing so again in this futuristic suspense flick...

Yesterday Deadline wrote a story about the vacant American Idol seat, dashing rumors that Elton John and Justin Timberlake would join the show. To the untrained eye, the story served only to crush these ridiculous rumors floating around the internet. But if you look closer, there is actually a big piece of news haphazardly thrown into the middle of the paragraph.

Amanda Seyfried is hoping to buy some time. A whole lot of it.

The young Mamma Mia! actress has signed on for the oddly titled I'm.mortal, a project being developed by director Andrew Niccol (Lord of War). The story 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.

New Regency picked up the project this spring. Eric Newman and Marc Abraham are producing via their Strike Entertainment (they also made the Dawn of the Dead remake and the upcoming prequel to The Thing).

In "I'm.mortal," time has become the currency. Once you turn 25 and your aging gene turns off, you must buy and bank time. If you are rich enough, you can live forever. But if you run out of time, you are engineered to die automatically.
