Amanda Seyfried is seeking immortality, starring in New Regency’s sci-fi action thriller, “I’m.mortal,” from writer-director Andrew Niccol. Twentieth Century Fox will distribute the film, which also has romance elements.

“I’m.mortal” centers on a society in which aging stops at 25 — meaning that every role will be played by actors in their mid-20s.

New Regency picked up the high-priority project this spring. Niccol is expected to begin lensing this year.

Eric Newman and Marc Abraham are producing via their Strike Entertainment. Strike’s Kristel Laiblin is exec producing.

Time is the currency in the world of “I’m.mortal,” where citizens must buy and bank time when their aging gene turns off at age 25. The rich can live forever, but those who run out of time are engineered to die automatically.

When a rebel from the ghetto is falsely accused of murdering a wealthy man for his time, he is forced to go on the run with a beautiful, rich hostage (Seyfried).

Seyfried stars in Warner Bros.’ upcoming “Red Riding Hood,” from director Catherine Hardwicke. She was last in theaters with “Letters to Juliet,” “Dear John” and “Mamma Mia!”The male lead hasn’t yet been cast.

“It’s a strange casting process. Even for a small role like a priest or a pawnbroker, where you would normally cast a 75-year-old character actor, I have to find a 75-year-old character actor in a 25-year old body,” Niccol told Daily Variety.

Niccol’s previous directing/writing credits include “Gattaca” and “Lord of War.” He also wrote “The Truman Show.”

“I’m.mortal” isn’t the only sci-fi film project broaching the subject of a future where people don’t age.

A remake of “Logan’s Run” has been in the works for more than a decade at Warner Bros., with Joel Silver and Akiva Goldsman producing. That film focuses on a man trying to escape a mandatory death sentence on his 30th birthday.

First up, Variety reports that Virginia Madsen has signed on to play Amanda Seyfried’s mother in the upcoming medieval thriller Red Riding Hood. Nothing new is being said about the Catherine Hardwicke film, nor anything specific about the role, but it’s just one more piece in an increasingly interesting puzzle. While it must just be more dark fare to follow in Twilight’s footsteps, you might remember that this project already has the likes of Julie Christie and Gary Oldman attached, not to mention Lukas Haas and Shiloh Fernandez. Now if only Hollywood could give Ms. Madsen roles that give her something other than parenting to do… But at least she’s in good company with this one.

Warner Bros. have announced the release date for Catherine Hardwicke’s Red Riding Hood (formerly The Girl with the Red Riding Hood). The film will be released in the US on March 11th 2011.

Red Riding Hood is reportedly a more gothic take on the traditional fairy tale ala the traditional Brothers Grimm story. The film is written by David Johnson (Orphan) and stars Amanda Seyfried, Shiloh Fernandez, Max Irons, Michael Hogan, Julie Christie, Lukas Hass, and Gary Oldman.
