No Longer Mortal

Vincent Kartheiser ("Mad Men") has signed on to join Andrew Niccol's latest now untitled sci-fi flick says Variety.

Previously titled "I'm.mortal", the story is set in a society where people engineered to stop ageing at 25-years-old and time has become the currency of the realm. The wealthy are practically immortal while the majority of the populous struggles to bank what extra time they can.

The pic follows a ghetto rebel (Justin Timberlake) wrongly accused of murder who is forced to go into hiding with a beautiful and rich hostage (Amanda Seyfried). They soon begin a steamy romance.

Kartheiser plays the father of Seyfried's character, a man forced to choose between the daughter he loves and the oppressive time system that has made him rich.

Cillian Murphy and Collins Pennie also star. He plays right-hand man to Timekeeper Raymond Leon (Murphy).

Eric Newman and Marc Abraham will produce the Logan's Run-like film


Niccol ("Gattaca," "S1m0ne") directs from a script he wrote
