Showing fields with auto_now=True through a forms.ModelForm

Question

I have a ModelForm with the following field definition:

updated_at = models.DateTimeField("Last-Modified", auto_now=True)

And when I do this in my form:

class Meta:
    model = Page
    fields = ('title', 'views', 'updated_at')

I get: Unknown field(s) (updated_at) specified for Page exception.

If I remove auto_now=True it works but I don't want to do that. I just want to display updated_at in my template, it will not be manually editable.
