Warning: The following contains spoilers for Wednesday’s episode of Hindsight.

“I want to go back!”

That’s a line not from Lost, but from Wednesday’s season finale of Hindsight, which found Becca once again destroying her friendship with Lolly despite trying to fix the past. (That’ll happen when your Bff finds out you’ve been hiding the fact that you had an affair in the future with the guy she loves.)

The premiere of VH1’s new original series Hindsight on Wednesday took viewers on a time-traveling journey – but did you enjoy the trip down ’90s memory lane?

Before you chime in with your thoughts, a recap of the pilot: Becca (White Collar‘s Laura Ramsey) is about to get married for the second time to quintessential nice guy Andy (Super Fun Night’s Nick Clifford). He’s sweet, responsible and thoughtful. “But did he set me on fire? Well, I was warm,” Becca’s voiceover reveals. She finds herself reminiscing about the past, including her hunky, unpredictable ex-husband Sean (Legend of the Seeker...

Before "Revenge" Season 2 finishes its finale this May, one central member of the show's cast will die. The exact identity of the victim is not known, but it will be someone important. Could it be Daniel? Aiden? Emily herself?

We will have to wait until the two-hour finale airs on Sunday, May 12, but we can guess about the dead person's identity in the meantime.

There are only a few clues to go on. TVLine quotes "Revenge creator Mike Kelley as saying the death (which is not a fake-out this time) will be "one of our core cast members." The identity of the victim will be known by the end of the finale -- so we don't have to wait until the next season like we did with Victoria last year.

Finally, there is one more hint: "It'll be a surprise who it is," Kelley said. "It's certainly a surprise to Emily.

After Amanda’s foster brother Eli (Collins Pennie) showed up at the very tail end of last week’s Revenge on ABC, I was hoping above all hope that the show wouldn’t drag out another reveal with him. In all honesty, I was expecting it to be that he wasn’t who he claimed; he was just some...Read more»...

Luck is not on Emily Thorne's (Emily VanCamp) side this St. Patrick's Day. Revenge's Jack (Nick Wechsler) is reeling from the death of Amanda (Margarita Levieva) and still super angry over Emily lying to him after finding some revealing letters in her revenge stash. In our exclusive sneak peek from Sunday's all-new episode, Jack questions Em about her juvie past and reveals he's been gathering some info from Amanda's foster brother Eli (Collins Pennie)! Plus, does Eli know who Emily really is? Find out now! "When you and Amanda were in juvie, what was the opinion she had of her father?" Jack asks Emily, adding that Eli told him Amanda hated her father. Of course, Eli just...

Just when you thought we’d seen enough mysterious men from Emily’s past pop back into her life, the addictive ABC drama has added one more for us. We’ve met a lot of men she’s been involved with it, but few who have had any familial ties to her, but that’s going to change when the show introduces Emily’s long lost brother. It’s a classic soap opera move, but Revenge isn’t going to go full soap on us – the man she once called brother has zero blood relation to her. He was simply her foster brother. But that doesn’t explain away his sudden reappearance in her life. What’s caused him to return?

Unfortunately, the nature of Revenge prevents us from scraping up any important details about this new character; someone with potentially a lot of background information on Emily, such as...

The plot continues to thicken on "Revenge."

According to TVLine, "HawthoRNe" vet Collins Pennie will recur on the ABC series as Eli, Emily's (Emily VanCamp) long lost foster brother. Pennie will make his "Revenge" debut this spring.

In addition to "HawthoRNe," Pennie has also appeared on "CSI: Miami," "NCIS: Los Angeles" and more.

Army Wives has added another recurring player as the show revamps itself in its seventh season. Brant Daugherty will appear as a recent West Point graduate and a love interest for one of the new Wives, according to Deadline. If Daugherty looks familiar to you, it might be because he appeared on Days of Our Lives as the guy who had an interest in Sonny just when Will wasn't sure how out he could be on? You know, the guy who made us question our loyalty to WilSon before that story could get going? (Our interview with Brant Daugherty here.)

Title: In Time Director: Andrew Niccol Starring: Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Cillian Murphy, Vincent Kartheiser, Johnny Galecki, Alex Pettyfer, Olivia Wilde, Collins Pennie Once in a while you need a movie that lets you just sit back, relax and enjoy the show. Sure, these films can be rather mindless, but spoon-fed entertainment can make for a fun night out. On the other hand, that’s no excuse to take a notable novel premise and never bring it to its intellectual and emotional potential. With highly entertaining and thoughtful movies like Gattaca and The Truman Show on his resume, you’d expect something rather exceptional from writer-director Andrew Niccol. However, with In Time...

Andrew Gattaca is king of the concept men, is he not? Just think about the work he has his name to. His ideas and screenplays for Gatacca and The Truman Show stand very high on my list of the best films from the 90′s.

20th Century Fox will release his sci-fi/action film In Time (formerly titled Now and weirdly I’m.mortal or something daft like that) in the U.S. on Friday and man does it look like a home run. You know, Warner Bros have been obsessed for years with remaking Logan’s Run but here we are… here is a movie that damn well modernizes the concept and has some new and exciting ideas to boot. And to prove that Niccol has lost known of his succinct touch, just look at the clever way he manages to express how the concept of this film will work...

Yet Another new trailer for Andrew Niccol‘s forthcoming sci-fi tinged thriller In Time has officially hit the web after footage was screened at San Diego Comic Con and a separate trailer aired last week, making this new ad the third different reel in a fortnight. Perhaps our previous assumption that 20th Century Fox must be extremely pleased with the film as they couldn’t wait to show us more and more footage has now become a concern that maybe they just can’t quite figure out how to market the film to the masses.

This trailer yet again carries a different tone to the previous two but at least is a little better at explaining the plot.

In Time is set in a universe where time is described as ‘currency’ as your aging clock stops at 25. In this world the rich are ‘immortal’, and the poor struggle to live.

It’s always a good sign when a Hollywood studio is so pleased and excited about one of their forthcoming blockbusters that they just can’t wait to show you as much footage from the movie as they can, like a child who has drawn a picture he is proud of and can’t wait to show his mommy what he did. Last week at Comic Con, 20th Century Fox gave us some rather nifty posters along with an extended footage reel which showed us large glimpses at half a dozen different scenes that make up Andrew Niccol’s highly intriguing sci-fi thriller In Time.

They kind of did something similar with X-Men: First Class in the early summer when they got really excited about what they had with that movie (and for the most part, rightfully so) and shoved it down our throats for weeks on end. Despite this...

The fim In Time, directed by Andrew Niccol, has released two new images for our pleasure! Check them out!

Synopsis:

Starring Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Olivia Wilde, Cillian Murphy, Vincent Kartheiser and Collins Pennie, the film is set in a world where time has become a currency with the rich achieving immortality and never aging past 25. Accused of murder, Will Salas (Timberlake) has to go on the run and takes a hostage (Seyfried) with him until he can figure out how to clear his name, all while trying to bank the minutes he needs to stay alive. In an interesting twist, Wilde will play Will’s mother despite being four years younger than Timberlake (remember, no one ages past 25) with Kartheiser playing Seyfried’s Dad. Meanwhile, Murphy will play a law enforcer known as a “timekeeper” with Pennie, as his right hand man. Sounds like a pretty nifty little genre piece.

Formerly titled "I'm.mortal" then "Now" before settling on "In Time," director Andrew Niccol has stepped behind the camera again for the time in six years, returning to the sci-fi genre that served him so well the first time out with "Gattaca." And he's got a helluva story to tell. Starring Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Olivia Wilde, Cillian Murphy, Vincent Kartheiser and Collins Pennie, the film is set in a world where time has become a currency with the rich achieving immortality and never aging past 25.

Synopsis: In the countdown to a national step-off, rivalries at Truth University run red hot. The Theta Nus are counting on new pledge...

Andrew Niccol (“Gattaca”) is presently filming his latest sci-fi film. The project was called “I’m.mortal”, which is just awful, but that has been changed to the overly generic “Now”. The film stars Justin Timberlake, everyone’s favorite member of N’Sync, and Amanda Seyfried, who I can’t come up with a quip for. A photographer recently snapped a few quick pictures from the set. Timberlake is Will, a “rebel from the ghetto” accused of murdering a wealthy man for the time he owns. He takes a girl hostage (Seyfried) and goes on the run, battling against the young-looking society that enforces time as currency. Chasing them are Cillian Murphy and Collins Pennie. Olivia Wilde plays Justin Timberlake’s mother, Vincent Kartheiser plays Amanda Seyfried’s father, and Johnny Galecki is the alcoholic best friend of Timberlake’s character. Aside from the look of Timberlake, who looks like...

Justin Timberlake and Amanday Seyfried were spotted filming their new untitled sci-fi thriller in Los Angeles, California on Wednesday and we've got some photos that you can check out here or by clicking on pic below! Written and directed by Andrew Niccol, the film also stars Cillian Murphy, Vincent Kartheiser, Collins Pennie, Olivia Wilde and Johnny Galecki. It takes place in a future society where, thanks to a scientific breakthrough, no one has to age. To keep population in check, people stay alive as long as they can pay their way. The story follows a rebel from the ghetto (Timberlake) who is falsely accused of murdering a wealthy man for his time, and goes on the run with a beautiful hostage (Seyfried).

Earlier this month, we told you that Olivia Wilde (Tron: Legacy, Cowboys & Aliens) had joined the cast of Andrew Niccol‘s upcoming, untitled sci-fi film (formerly titled, I’m.mortal). Previously, Cillian Murphy (The Dark Knight, Inception), Amanda Seyfried (Red Riding Hood) Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men) and Collins Pennie (Hawthorne) had joined the cast alongside Justin Timberlake (The Social Network).

Now, Deadline reports that Johnny Galecki (The Big Bang Theory) has joined the cast of Niccol’s as yet Untitled Justin Timberlake/Amanda Seyfried Thriller. The actor will be playing the best friend of Timberlake’s character.

The film is set in a society where time is the new currency, the rich are essentially immortal and the rest of society has to struggle to survive. Cillian Murphy will be playing a member of the law enforcement organization known as the Timekeepers. Justin Timberlake will play a man who goes on the run,...

Johnny Galecki ("The Big Bang Theory") has signed on for a role in Andrew Niccol's latest untitled sci-fi feature for 20th Century Fox, New Regency and Strike Entertainment says Deadline.

Previously titled "I'm.mortal", the story is set in a society where people engineered to stop ageing at 25-years-old and time has become the currency of the realm. The wealthy are practically immortal while the majority of the populous struggles to bank what extra time they can.

Justin Timberlake plays a ghetto rebel wrongly accused of murder who is forced to go into hiding with a beautiful and rich hostage (Amanda Seyfried). They soon begin a steamy romance.

Galecki plays the best friend of Timberlake's character. Vincent Kartheiser, Olivia Wilde, Cillian Murphy and Collins Pennie also star.

Niccol ("Gattaca," "S1m0ne") directs from a script he wrote and hopes to begin production before the year ends. Eric Newman and Marc Abraham will produce.

Johnny Galecki from the TV sitcom The Big Bang Theory is currently in negotiations to join Andrew Niccol's new sci-fi film previously called I'm Mortal.

Johnny Galecki is Justin Timberlake's best friendJohnny Galecki has boarded Andrew Niccol's upcoming untitled sci-fi thriller, which used to be called I'm.mortal. According to Deadline, the The Big Bang Theory actor will be playing Justin Timberlake's best friend.

The story takes place in a not-too-distant future, where the aging gene has been switched off. To avoid overpopulation, time has become the currency and the way people pay for luxuries and necessities. The rich can live forever, while the rest try to negotiate for their immortality. Justin Timberlake will play a poor young man who comes into a fortune of time, though too late to help his mother (Olivia Wilde) from dying. He ends up on the run from a corrupt police force known as the 'time keepers'.

The movie also stars Amanda Seyfried as Justin Timberlake's girlfriend. Cillian Murphy is set to play the villain,...

Back in August we told you that Cillian Murphy (The Dark Knight, Inception) and Justin Timberlake (The Social Network) had joined the cast of the upcoming Andrew Niccol (Lord of War) film entitled, I’m.mortal. The film is set in a society where time is the new currency, the rich are essentially immortal and the rest of society has to struggle to survive.

Murphy will be playing a member of the law enforcement organization known as the Timekeepers and Timberlake will play a man who goes on the run, and takes an heiress (Amanda Seyfried) hostage after he comes into a fortune of “time” and becomes the target for a murder investigation.

According to The Wrap, Olivia Wilde (Tron: Legacy, Cowboys & Aliens) has joined the cast and will play Justin Timberlake‘s mother. If you are wondering how the lovely (read: effin’ hot) Ms. Wilde can play Timberlake’s...

Now it sounds a bit weird, but Olivia Wilde will be taking on the role of Will Salas' (Justin Timberlake) mom in the formerly titled "I'm.mortal". So very glad it's formerly titled that, mainly because it's the weirdest title all of us have had to type out in a long while. Any who, she joins up on the cast that includes Amanday Seyfried, Justin Timberlake, Collins Pennie, Vincent Kartheiser and Cillian Murphy.

26-year-old Olivia Wilde ("Tron: Legacy," "House") is set to play the mother of 29-year-old Justin Timberlake's character in Andrew Niccol's untitled sci-fi feature for 20th Century Fox, New Regency and Strike Entertainment says The Wrap.

Olivia Wilde is Justin Timberlake's MotherOlivia Wilde has joined the cast of Andrew Niccol's currently untitled sci-fi thriller for 20th Century Fox. According to The Warp, she will play Justin Timberlake's mother. The two actors previously worked together in the crime drama Alpha Dog.

How could Olivia Wilde possibly play the not-much-younger Justin Timberlake's mother? Because this story takes place in a future America, where a technological breakthrough has made it possible for humans to stop aging. Adults are able to stay young as long as they can pay the hefty price tag that comes along with immortality.

Justin Timberlake will portray a struggling rebel from the ghetto who gets falsely accused of killing a wealthy man for his time. Timberlake's character is forced to go on the run with a beautiful woman he takes hostage, played by Amanda Seyfried.

Cillian Murphy will play Timekeeper Raymond Leon,...

Yeah you read the headline correct, the beautiful Olivia Wilde from the TV series House and the upcoming film Tron: Legacy will be playing Justin Timberlakes mother in a new untitled sci-fi thriller being developed by Andrew Niccol (Gattaca). The rest of the cast includes Amanda Seyfried, Cillian Murphy, Vincent Kartheiser and Collins Pennie.

It's a little weird that she's playing the mom of someone that I beleive is older than her. But it's all explained in the explination of what the film is about.

The story takes place in a future society where, thanks to a scientific breakthrough, no one has to age. Aging stops at 25 and time has become the currency. The rich are immortal, while the rest struggle to stay alive.

Someone pinch me. I have to be day-dreaming. Or is it night-dreaming? How old is Olvia Wilde? Certainly not old enough to be Justin Timberlake’s mother. In fact, after looking them up, Timberlake is actually three years Wilde’s senior. However, that hasn’t stopped Wilde signing on to play Timberlake’s mom in Andrew Niccol’s upcoming thriller that was previously titled I’m.mortal (via TheWrap). Hit the jump for more information on the film, including who the duo will be co-starring with and why Wilde can possibly have given birth to a man three years older (hint; it’s not time travel).

The film, which is setup at New Regency with 20th Century Fox distributing, had been titled I’m.mortal, but let’s face the music. That’s a ridiculous title to sell as anything, let alone as a film. Sounds more like a rapper’s name,...

Andrew Niccol's upcoming film, which is now temporarily untitled, sounds interesting. It's a Logan's Run-like story about a future society in which time is strictly rationed, and those who want to live beyond a certain point have to pay for their time...or steal it. The film was called I'm.mortal until recently, but that title has been dropped. I understand the appeal -- it's a cute, quirky sci-fi title -- but getting wide audiences to remember a basic title is difficult enough these days. (Sigh.) Better that Niccol and New Regency simplify. There are also some new cast additions, including Mad Men's Vincent Kartheiser. Variety notes the addition of Kartheiser as well as of Collins Pennie.
