"In Time" International Trailer

In Time presents a world where time has become the ultimate currency. You stop aging at 25, but there's a catch: you're genetically-engineered to live only one more year, unless you can buy your way out of it. The rich "earn" decades at a time (remaining at age 25), becoming essentially immortal, while the rest beg, borrow or steal enough hours to make it through the day. When a man from the wrong side of the tracks is falsely accused of murder, he is forced to go on the run with a beautiful hostage. Living minute to minute, the duo's love becomes a powerful tool in their war against the system.

Interesting looking movie. Reminds me a LOT of Card's Worthing Cycle. The mechanic is different and has different ramifications on the day to day existence of the denizens, but the concept that the privileged get to live longer through an artificial mechanism and that corruption comes along with that is very similar.
I definitely look forward to seeing this one.
