Im.mortal is an original script film in a future where technology allows aging to end at 25, and the world currency is time. Amanda Seyfried was already attached so I was sold.
And now Cillian Murphy is in final talks to play the badguy, while the lead goes to … Justin Timberlake?
Over the weekend, Cillian Murphy entered final talks to join the movie as ‘The Timekeeper’ [note: in a movie where time is described as ‘currency’ and the rich ‘immortal’, anyone with that name is likely to be the villain] which Justin Timberlake is set to lead, alongside Amanda Seyfried.
I don’t hate Timberlake as an actor as I think he is taking the right steps to transition from popstar to movie star, but I still don’t think he is strong enough to hold a lead role in a movie.
Especially a movie with Cillian Murphy and Amanda Seyfried, two very respected actors.
Maybe he will surprise me. Or maybe Murpy and Seyfried will be so good I won’t notice him.
