New Regency is in negotiations to pick up sci-fi project “I’m Mortal”, which will be written and directed by Andrew Niccol (“Gattaca,” “The Truman Show,” “S1mOne,” and “Lord of War”). Strike Entertainment is going to be producing the project.

The project is being described as being set in a not-too-distant future where the aging gene can be disabled, and to avoid overpopulation, time has become a currency for paying for things. A poor young man comes into a fortune too late to save his mother, and he ends up on the run from corrupt forces, including police known as “time keepers”.
