Justin Timberlake has revealed that it was the idea of In Time that drew him to the movie.
The actor is set to return to the big screen next month with Amanda Seyfried in the sci-fi thriller.
And Timberlake admits that he had a few meetings with director Andrew Niccol before committing to the project.
Speaking to Collider the actor said: "I had sort of two or three meetings with Andrew before I decided to do it. It is a high concept, so I think my conversations with him were more to find out how we could really bring out the characters as well.
"Because I thought the idea was amazing and I think Andrew’s obviously pretty prolific when it comes to this type of concept and film.
"But he said he was looking to delve deeper and see what he could bring out of it with this experience and so that seemed like it would be fun to try to Rubik’s Cube with him... I just used Rubik’s Cube as a verb."
It's already been a great movie year for Timberlake after finding success with Mila Kunis in Friends With Benefits and Cameron Diaz in Bad Teacher.
In Time is released 1st November.
