I know I've read this plot before in a SciFi mag

Rating: Null/10 (28 October 2011)

The idea of science making us immortal using time as a currency, wristband, and dying when 'time runs out' I am pretty certain I read in a SciFi magazine like Isaac Asimov SF Magazine or Analog.. I don't remember the author but if Harlan Elison wrote it I wouldn't be surprised.. If he's not suing, I'm sure some other SF author is entitled to do so..
Quite a few movies recently have been expanding on prior SF short stories. "Real Steel" being one that I've seen last week.. Loved that one. I understand "I am Legend" and "The Button" were also short stories made into movies.
