First footage from 'In Time' with Justin Timberlake

Andrew Niccol's new sci-fi thriller has its final title (it went from "I'm.mortal" to untitled, and finally to "In Time"), and footage from the flick premiered at Comic-Con in trailer fashion. We've also got posters, so check out all these things right after the jump.

In the future people stop aging at 25 and must work to buy themselves more time, but when a young man finds himself with more time than he can imagine he must run from the corrupt police force to save his life after being framed for murder.

Justin Timberlake plays the lead, and Amanda Seyfried plays his love interest, a chick he happens to take hostage. Cilian Murphy stars as the badass trying to hunt him down. The cast also includes Alex Pettyfer, Olivia Wilde and Johnny Galecki.

Johnny Galecki boards Niccol's 'I'm.mortal' 

Andrew Niccol's upcoming sci-fi flick is no longer titled "I'm.mortal," but I'll keep calling it that until it's got its new official title. The project is still casting, and Johnny Galecki is the latest to board the flick.

The movie is set in a futuristic world in which people stop aging when they hit the age of 25. Time is the most precious currency now, and the rich are immortal. Everyone else is struggling, by the way...

More specifically, the plot follows a ghetto rebel (Justin Timberlake) who is framed for murdering a rich dude and goes on the run with a hostage. They later discover love is more important than anything...

Orlando Bloom joins Niccol's 'The Cross'

Orlando Bloom, Vincent Cassel and Olga Kurylenko are set to join "The Cross."

According to Variety, "Bloom plays a man seeking to cross a mysterious border, something no one else has achieved."

Cassel will play a guard who tries to prevent Bloom form achieving his goal. Kurylenko will take the female lead, but details about her role are unknown at this stage.

The trade also says the project is produced on a $24 million budget, with production set to start this summer in Australia.

This is obviously not Niccol's first visit to the sci-fi genre. He kicked off his directorial career in 1997 with "Gattaca," followed by "S1m0ne." Most recently, he helmed the enjoyable thriller "Lord of War."

As far as Orlando Bloom is concerned, he was last seen in "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End." Dang, that was ages ago. He's got "New York, I Love You" and "Sympathy for Delicious" coming up.

The good-looking Kurylenko, of course, last starred in "Quantum of Solace."
