Time is literally money in the upcoming film, In Time

By Ryan Fleming July 25, 2011

Love him or hate him, Justin Timberlake seems destined to become a major league Hollywood player, and an A-list actor. Following the path balzed by others like Will Smith, the one-time boy-bander has put in his dues, and appeared in several films where he stood out. With each new positive review, Timberlake has moved ever upward on the Hollywood scene towards his own big budget starring vehicle. Following his success in The Social Network, it appears that Timberlake may have found the big-budget role that could cement his place among the next-wave of Hollywood stars.

Coming later this Fall, Timberlake and another future mega-star, Amanda Seyfried (Red Riding Hood, Dear John) star in the $100 million film, In Time. Joining them are a handful of others that are destined to receive obscene amounts of money for each film in the future including: Olivia Wilde, Cillian Murphy and Alex Pettyfer to name a few.

The plot is basically Logan’s Run with a twist. In the near future, the aging gene has been discovered and turned off. Upon birth, every child is given 25 years of life. Currency has been replaced by units of time which people work to earn, and spend to live. As with any form of currency, there are people that have a lot of it. These people are more-or-less immortal, and live a life of the elite.

Timberlake plays Will Sylas, an average guy with a low paying job and a mother that is running low on time, and therefore dying. He is soon caught up in a murder that he is blamed for, but he also inherits a fortune in time from a wealthy stranger. As Sylas tries to integrate into the high society and is slightly horrified by their waste and greed, a corrupt police force is doggedly pursuing him.

The film is written and directed by Andrew Niccol (Gattaca, Lord of War), and it hits theaters on October 28.

The 10 most expensive movies of all time

Rey runs from an explosion in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Have you ever wondered what goes into the cost of making a movie? Specifically, a blockbuster of epic proportion that incorporates massive set pieces spanning across the globe with A-list talent and stunning visual effects. In short, it's not cheap to make a movie of this scale. There was once a time when $200 million was considered an expensive film. Now, $200 million is the standard as studio budgets continue to increase past $300, even $400 million.

Superhero movies are typically associated with massive budgets due to the high volume of CGI. However, more studios are increasing budgets for films they believe could be billion-dollar earners and kick off a successful franchise. Below are the 10 most expensive movies of all time.

What time is the UFC fight tonight? Full event schedule

How to watch UFC 247: Jones vs. Reyes on ESPN+

Wanting to know what the UFC 285 time is tonight? Considering this is one of the most highly anticipated UFC events to come along in a while, it's not one that you'll want to miss, and if you're here looking for the UFC 285 schedule, we've got everything you need to know. UFC 285 is a big one, with former two-time light heavyweight champ Jon "Bones" Jones making both his return to the UFC as well as his long-awaited heavyweight debut. He will be facing down former interim champ Ciryl Gane for the recently vacated UFC Heavyweight Championship. There are 14 fights on deck for this event, so whether you're planning to watch them all or just want to tune into the main card, read on to see the full UFC 285 schedule so you don't miss any of the action.
What time is the UFC fight tonight?
Most UFC events, and pretty much all pay-per-views, are divided up across three fight cards. UFC 285 is no exception, featuring early prelims, preliminary bouts, and the main event. As far as the UFC 285 time goes, the early preliminary card starts the action off early at 5:30 p.m. ET (2:30 p.m. PT) and hosts newer talent in the league. There are currently five fights scheduled for this card. Following the early prelims is the preliminary card, which begins at 8 p.m. ET. This card features some familiar faces such as Cody Garbrandt, Derek Bruson, and Dricus Du Plessis.

As with most UFC PPV exhibitions hosted in the U.S., the UFC 285 time for the main card is 10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT). The main event culminates in the headliner between Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane. The main card is also the pay-per-view portion of the event, meaning you'll need ESPN+ to watch it. Five bouts are slated for the main event, and the UFC blocks out half an hour for each fight. That means you can expect Jones and Gane to do their ring walks sometime after midnight ET.
How to watch the UFC 285 live stream
Although UFC 285 is a pay-per-view, you can still watch the preliminary and early preliminary cards on the ESPN TV channels, which are included with many cable TV packages and live TV streaming services. The main card is the pay-per-view portion of the event, and for that, you'll need ESPN+. ESPN+ is the go-to platform for watching every UFC live stream event, and it's the only outlet that broadcasts UFC PPV shows in the U.S. It recently had another price increase and now costs $10 per month or $100 per year. Sadly, there's no ESPN+ free trial available anymore, which is becoming the norm for streaming services, unfortunately.
