One of the best sf directors ever, Andrew Niccol ("Gattaca", "Simone") has found himself a lead actress for his new sf movie "I'm.mortal": Amanda Seyfried has signed to star in the film set in a future society where the aging process stops at 25 and time becomes a form of currency, with the rich essentially becoming immortal and the rest of society struggling to survive. A poor rebel murders a man for his "time" and goes on the run, taking Seyfried's character hostage, when they discover that love is more powerful than immortality. The lead actor hasn't been chosen yet.
I also have four new pictures from the Roman epic "Centurion" coming out August 27th. Starring Michael Fassbender, Olga Kurylenko and Dominic West, the film will follow the famous Ninth Legion which fights against the terrifying tribes known as the Picts in Northern Britain AD 117.
I think Amanda is adorable.
ReplyDeleteGattaca was such a good movie, interesting to see what Amanda will do with this director. She really is the it girl of the moment.
ReplyDelete@Avalon and Andrew
ReplyDeleteshe really is super cute and she really is the it girl of the moment (I even have a problem finding new pics of her to announce all the new projects she's signing :))
And GATTACA was one of the best sf movies.
I'm Mortal sounds interesting. Looking forward to Centurion!
ReplyDeleteI've heard In Europe Centurion was released this week. Have you seen it Dezmy?

ReplyDelete"I'm.mortal" is kinda your genre, Alex :)
@Jaccsy
no, I haven't, unfortunately :(
The Niccol movie sounds ineresting...but it has to be careful to not be trite. A dystopian fantasy can be enlightening, or flat. We'll see!

This movie sounds amazing! And I love Amanda Seyfried. Loved her in Mamma Mia and Dear John too. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for your kind comment on my blog. I truly appreciate it!
@Michele
ReplyDeletehe never makes flat movies, so I reckon this one should be enlightening as well :)
@Julie
be welcome, Juls, I loved Amanda in MAMMA MIA and DEAR JOHN too ;)
ooo I like her. I think she's going places.
ReplyDeletethe movie sounds incredibly real-life, given that healthcare is unaffordable and cosmetic surgery is so available and expensive. and amanda is not bad looking:)
ReplyDelete@Kristin
ReplyDeleteyep, especially since next year she'll be the star of RIDING HOOD the horror version of the LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD which is planned as a TWILIGHT lookalike movie :)
@Ed
:)))))) love your irony, Ed ;)))
These both sound like interesting films. Look forward to them. I really like the Roman stuff. Gladiator was a big favorite for me and my wife.
