Short description
In Time is set in a future where people stop ageing at twenty-five and must buy every extra day of life, because time itself has replaced money. The wealthy can accumulate centuries and live in guarded districts, while the poor work, borrow or steal just to reach the next morning. Will Salas, a young factory worker from a poor zone, unexpectedly receives a large amount of time from a stranger. Rather than spend it quietly, he crosses into the world of the rich, where he takes a wealthy young woman hostage and goes on the run from the corrupt officers known as timekeepers, who enforce the system he is trying to defy.
Andrew Niccol wrote the screenplay and directed the film, which sits between Lord of War and The Host in the sequence of his features. Justin Timberlake plays Will, Amanda Seyfried plays Sylvia Weis, and Cillian Murphy plays the timekeeper Raymond Leon, with Vincent Kartheiser, Olivia Wilde and Matt Bomer among the supporting cast. The production is credited to Niccol, Marc Abraham and Eric Newman, with 77 credited cast members and 138 credited crew.
Released on 27 October 2011, the film runs 109 minutes and cost about 40 million dollars, earning roughly 174 million worldwide, a return that exceeded its budget several times over. Audience response has been moderate: on IMDb it holds 6.7 out of 10 from around 481,000 votes, and on TMDB 7 out of 10 from over 12,000 votes. A film critics' rating of 5.3 out of 10 from 173 reviews places it below both audience scores.
What's left behind the scenes
- The cars in the film have exhaust pipes, but their movement is accompanied by a sound characteristic of electric vehicles. Andrew Niccol previously used a similar technique to depict cars of the future in the film 'Gattaca' (1997).
- According to Amanda Seyfried, the most difficult part of filming this movie was running in high heels. She would have happily taken them off for the corresponding scenes, but she couldn't, as running barefoot on concrete would have been even worse.
- In the bar scene, when the guards enter and show the rising nouveau riche, his sleeves are not rolled up at all – not even the wrists are visible, but when they show a close-up of his 'watch' – the sleeve is rolled up almost to the elbow.
- For cinematographer Roger Deakins, 'Time' was the first film shot on a digital camera.
- The vehicles in the film do not have license plates.
- The initial working title of the film was “I’m.mortal,” which was later changed to “Now,” and then to “In Time.”
- During filming, Justin Timberlake injured his leg, so filming had to be paused for a week.
- In the final scenes, the guard chases the lovers. When the guard looks at his time, he sees 44 minutes, while Sylvia has 1 hour. At the end of the chase, the difference between them is 2 minutes.
- When the son congratulates his mother on her 50th birthday, he says: '25 for the 25th time.' That makes 49. He should have said: '25 for the 26th time.'
- Olivia Wilde (Will's mother) is actually 3 years younger than Justin Timberlake (Will).
- At the end of the film, when Sylvia and Will have their last seconds, after the time is given from the cop's machine, when Sylvia rushes to Will, she can be seen wearing closed black heels. But a few seconds later, she is wearing platform sandals with very high heels.
