2011 Box Office Promises "The Summer Of Timberlake"

Over the last decade, Justin Timberlake has proved himself to be an accomplished singer and record producer.  In 2006, he made his big screen debut in Nick Cassavetes' 'Alpha Dog'.  He received critical acclaim for his role as Frankie "Nuts" Ballenbacher, who is involved with the kidnapping and subsequent murder of another character in the film.  The film is based on the true story of the kidnapping and murder of 15 year old Nicholas Markowitz in 2000.

Though not releasing an album since 2006's 'Future Sex/Love Sounds', he has made quite a name for himself as a frequent host and regular surprise guest on 'Saturday Night Live'.  The following videos are funnier than shit, but NSFW.  Seriously, unless you want your coworkers to hear you jamming out to the uncensored version of 'Dick In A Box', you may want to wait until you get home to watch them.



Timberlake has four movies scheduled to be released this year, two of them this summer.  The first one on the calendar is a comedy with former girlfriend Cameron Diaz, called 'Bad Teacher'.  Diaz plays the embodiment of the "couldn't care less/don't give a damn" teacher.  Timberlake comes into the school as the substitute teacher that isn't doing the job for the money, but to truly make a difference.  It's going to be interesting to see what kind of chemistry the two have with each other on film, considering the two carried on a romantic relationship for three and a half years.  The two trailers in this post are red band trailers.  They are NSFW due to adult language.



'Bad Teacher' comes out on June 24th.

On July 22nd, he stars in a comedy with 'Black Swan's' Mila Kunis in 'Friends With Benefits'.  It's about two friends that decide that they can enter into a sexual relationship without it ruining their friendship.  Wow.  OK. That sounds familiar.  Didn't that just come out a month ago?  It had Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman in it, and it was called 'No Strings Attached'.  Isn't it strange that Mila and Natalie both had starring roles in 'Black Swan' together, and then the following movie for both of them is a "fuck buddy" flick?  I haven't seen 'No Strings Attached', but based on the trailer, 'Friends With Benefits' looks much funnier.  Again, this is a red band trailer.  It's NSFW.



Later this year, Timberlake has a Sci Fi/thriller coming out in October called 'Now'.  The plot seems a little strange.  It's set in the future where people buy things with time instead of currency.  It stars 'Inception's' Cillian Murphy.

Then, in late 2011/early 2012, 'Lay the Favorite' should be released, starring Timberlake, Bruce Willis, and Catherine Zeta Jones.  It's about a thirty something woman that gets involved with a group of geeky fifty something men that figure out a way to rip off a Las Vegas casino sportsbook.

I'm assuming, more screen time in the theaters will equate to more screen time on 'Saturday Night Live'.  There have also been rumors swirling on the net in recent months that JT has been secretly recording new material for an album that could possibly be released by year's end.  In other words, hope you like Justin Timberlake, because whether you do or not, you're going to be seeing a lot more of him in the upcoming months.
