Olivia Wilde plays an “old soul” in new sci-fi movie In Time, the film’s director has revealed.

The actress plays Justin Timberlake’s mother in the thriller, which sees people stop ageing at the age of 25.

“It was challenging, because some characters, like Olivia Wilde, had to be very old souls, very mature,” Andrew Niccol explained.

And although she was playing the role of a woman a generation older than him, Wilde is actually 27, while Timberlake is 30.

“Olivia had to play the mother of Justin Timberlake, who’s actually a couple of years older than she is,” Niccol laughed. “So it was challenging.”

The film was shot in Los Angeles, which the director, who is also set to helm the adaptation of Stephanie Meyer’s The Host, described as apt.

He said: “Working in LA was very interesting because the movie is a lot about staying young forever, and this is the capital of staying young forever.”

Olivia Wilde may have just made her exit from House on Monday’s episode, but if you were among the fans hoping for Thirteen to make a brief return in the future to close out her character’s relatively open-ended departure, you might be out of luck.

At the In Time premiere held last night at the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood, Calif., Wilde told EW that she didn’t foresee a return to the show — even if rumors that it could be the show’s last season prove to be true. “I think the way we left it, if she came back, it would probably seem forced,” Wilde said. “So I don’t think she should come back. I liked her exit story a lot, so I am happy with it.”

Back in June, executive producer David Shore told EW that Wilde would “be back for at least some of the season” but ultimately, Wilde’s sole appearance this season was also her last. In her final episode, Thirteen was fired by House so that she could make a guilt-free move to Greece with her girlfriend. Wilde said her time on the show, which has seen her character struggle with Huntington’s Disease and spend some time in jail, was satisfying without having to revisit it. “I wouldn’t be so bold as to ask for anything more from House,” she told EW. “I had such an amazing run on the show. They’ve done such cool things with my character. She’s been so fascinating, dynamic and cool and unpredictable.”

Paging Dr. Hadley. It’s time for your final rounds in Princeton-Plainsboro.

Sad but true. Next week’s episode of House will be the Thirteen’s (Olivia Wilde) last time running the differential diagnosis with Dr. House (Hugh Laurie). Of course, we could always drag her back for the series finale.

So how does Thirteen react to House barging back into her life? And what does Laurie have to say about losing Wilde to the movie biz? We’ve got an episode clip and interviews to answer those questions…

“There’s a few good reasons for her not to be working anymore as a doctor,” Wilde says about Thirteen’s current situation. “She’s had a disease for a number of years and she doesn’t necessarily have that many years left. At this point she’s struggling with that dilemma. But of course it’s always up to House. No matter how much he drives them crazy, he’s still the most compelling and dynamic person to work for. And ultimately, it’s resolved for her.”

Basically, House wants his old peeps back and obviously, certain people aren’t as willing to be dragged back in. “House is shuffling his own deck of cards,” says Laurie. “Chase and Taub he wants back. He needs them. He does know that, but he’d never admit it to them. And he’s trying to bring Thirteen back into the fold. She’s operating on the level that House needs around him.”

But does Thirteen need House? Check out the clip below from next week’s episode and see what happens Thirteen confronts House about his stalking issues.

After next week, we probably won’t see Wilde in her lab coat anymore (which she really wanted to steal from set as a souvenir), but of course she’s nothing but gracious to her years spent on the show. “My work has gotten so much better from being on the show and learning from Hugh and all the other actors,” she says. “It’s a strange feeling thinking I won’t be coming here every morning, but all I feel is gratitude. My film career is thanks to House.”

Laurie’s also sad to see her go, and he admits that someone who looks like her should not be as nice as she is. Seriously, could she be more perfect? “There’s great sadness about the place. You can probably smell it. There’s a great sadness that Olivia is leaving us and moving on,” Laurie says. “Although it never came as any great surprise to anybody. Everybody here wishes her the absolute best of luck, but it’s very sad because she’s a wonderful person to work with. [She's] basically much, much nicer than someone like Olivia Wilde needs to be.”

Watch Wilde’s exit interview and Laurie’s ode’ to Olivia, and be sure to tune in to Fox for Thirteen’s final diagnosis on Oct. 17.

Question: Does Thirteen really leave House? If so, when? —Tamar
Ausiello: Next Monday’s episode is Olivia Wilde’s swan song. Of course, if this turns out to be House‘s last season, I have to imagine she’ll put in another appearance in or around the series finale.

The actress has enjoyed a decent year in the movies with Cowboys & Aliens and The Change-Up this past summer and In Time still coming later this month, and now Olivia Wilde has lined up a new project. While a whole slew of actresses apparently wanted the role, Deadline says it’s Wilde who has been set to play 70′s supermodel Suzy Miller in Ron Howard’s Rush, the chronicle of the rivalry between the late playboy British Formula One driver James Hunt and his nemesis, Austrian champion Niki Lauda. There might even be a small role that would reunite Howard with his A Beautiful Mind star Russell Crowe as well. More below!

Miller became quite fond of Hunt who is described as a handsome, womanizing racer, but the story will also show how the model soon came to fall in love with Richard Burton, and that’s the role that Howard is looking to have Crowe take on (though it would be a very small one). Written by The Queen and Frost/Nixon scribe Peter Morgan, the film follows three-time Formula One champion Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl) and his near-fatal 1976 racing season where he was nearly burned to death after his Ferrari swerved off the track in only the second lap of the German Grand Prix, crashed, and burst into flames. He emerged six weeks later to pursue his rivalry with fellow driver James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth). Sounds like a great story for the big screen, especially with Howard in the director’s chair.
