An exquisite Diwali collection that showcases a stunning variety of gold, diamond, and Polki jewellery

Earlier this year, on a set in Los Angeles, Niccol put Seyfried and Timberlake through their paces as they shot a sequence in which their characters rob a bank, stealing not money but time. In the film’s vision of our near future, time is money and people die by the age of 25 if they don’t accumulate more time.
Timberlake plays Will, a working stiff unexpectedly turned rich in time, only to be chased by a relentless team of Time Keepers. He kidnaps and then connects with Sylvia (Seyfried), the daughter of a powerful industrialist (Kartheiser), and they end up on the run together.
Timberlake and Seyfried work for an hour-plus on their scene. An armoured truck crashes through the bank window, and Will and Sylvia invite passers-by to grab as many capsules of time as they can from a vault, knowing full well that Sylvia’s father owns the bank.
“I don’t really look at it that way,” the musician-turned-actor says.
“After reading the script, there are two really interesting arcs for both of our characters. The movie definitely starts off with my story, but after you meet Amanda’s character in the middle of the film, and through our relationship, our affair, she has a great arc.
“I feel like, obviously, it’s going to be hard to answer a lot of these questions while we’re making the movie,” he admits. “I’ve never done this before, so forgive me if I seem the opposite of specific. But after reading it, I feel like you start off seeing the movie through my character and you end up getting the value out of Amanda’s character’s arc in the second half.”
“Together,” Seyfried says. “As we go through it together.”
“Yeah,” Timberlake agrees. “It kind of becomes a two-hander.”
For all the movie’s futuristic elements, none may throw off audiences more than the sight of young actors portraying the parents of other young actors. Timberlake, for example, is three years older than Wilde, who plays his mother.
Seyfried jumps in.
“But then they don’t act the same age, which is crazy,” she says. “I’m a little envious of the people that get to play the older characters, like Vincent. In my career I like to look for characters that are so unlike me, and then that’s the challenge, trying to relate to someone like that. So he’s trying to relate to someone that’s 80 years old, and it’s just so weird. So you have to study that and the nuances of someone that’s lived 60 years longer than you.”
In Time first made news back in December 2010, when Timberlake injured his leg during a stunt sequence. Mention the action, and the injury, and Timberlake and Seyfried sigh in virtual unison.
“No,” Seyfried says.
“Yeah,” Timberlake insists, “he runs when he’s a kid.”
“That maybe took a half day to shoot,” Seyfried scoffs.
He pauses for a moment before continuing.
“But injuries,” he says, “are just reminders that you’re not as young as you used to be… This is physically the hardest job I’ve ever done… including world tours.”
