Justin Timberlake is going full-speed ahead on his acting career, starring in a new film called The Open Road.

According to Variety, the 27-year-old Sexyback singer will play a young man trying to reconnect with his father (Jeff Bridges), a legendary athlete, as he struggles to get him home to his ailing mother’s bedside (Mary Steenburgen).

Kate Mara (Brokeback Mountain, We Are Marshall) will play Justin’s girlfriend.

Production for The Open Road begins this month in Louisiana.

Saw Justin in action filming at a hospital in Louisiana. Girls were gathered to try to get a peek and Justin rudely shouted ” Whats the matter !! You act like you never never seen a celeberty before !! and he then ask to abruptly dismiss them,
He is quite the snotty ass-of-nine most people see in him..
All I could say is “What an ******* !”

i used to like justin timberlake until about 2 months ago. as u all kno justin timberlake and others came to louisiana to film “the open road”.
well, they came to independence, louisiana and filmed othe the next street to where i live and when he came out the the motel set, he couldnt even wave or look at all of his fans who love him. and you would think that he would have the heart enough to atleast wave or look cause afterall, its the fans that got him to where he is today. if the fans wouldnt have listened or buy his music there would be no sexyback.
