Amanda Seyfried is Forever Young in I'm.mortal
Tue, July 13, 2010 
The jury is still out on how Amanda Seyfried will fare in the long-run. Personally, I think she very well could avoid being a "flavor of the month" like many her age and have a substantial career. But again, that remains to be seen.
The trades report she’ll headline Andrew Niccol's sci-fi thriller I'm.mortal. The film is set in a future society where the aging process has been stopped. The catch is in order to maintain immortality (essentially stay at 25 years old) one has to pay for it. Thus the rich and powerful will live on forever and the middle and lower class wither and die thanks to Father Time.
The actual plot centers around one such lower-class individual being falsely accused of murder and going on the run. In the midst of this, he takes a wealthy young woman (to be played by Seyfried) and, of course, sparks fly as our hero attempts to discover who framed him.
That male lead has yet to be cast.
Production is expected to start at the end of this year.

The concept sounds great, but the plot sounds very formulaic. Few films have ever really explored what it might be like to live forever, and this one sounds like it'll just use it as a gimmick.
