It might have been written as a throwaway line in a story on Deadline Hollywood, but it turns out the speculation could be true. New Regency and 20th Century Fox are talking to Justin timberlake. No deal is done, but by the end of the week, Timberlake could be on board to play the protagonist in the film from writer/director Andrew Niccol (Gattaca). Timberlake’s reps declined to commentncy and 20th Century Fox are talking to Justin Timberlake to star in I’m.mortal, one of the most sought-after sci-fi projects in the marketplace today. .
I’m.mortal depicts a future where the aging gene is turned off at age 25, but to avoid overpopulation, time has become the new currency. The lead character is a poor man from the ghetto who is falsely accused of murdering a wealthy man for his time. Amanda Seyfried has already signed on to play the beautiful rich girl he kidnaps while on the run.
Production is set to begin in early fall. We’ll keep you posted as the deal progresses.

He’s mortal but he sucks
Justin Timberlake is booking job after job. Acting job. He’s currently working on Friends With Benefits (seen here on set today in New York), he recently wrapped Bad Teacher, The Social Network opens in the Fall, and now he’s reportedly been offered the lead in I’m.mortal about the ability to stop aging at 25 but only if you have enough money. Amanda Seyfried is already attached to project which must bite Jessica Biel in the ass that her boyfriend keeps acting opposite some of the most promising actresses in the business who keep beating HER out of parts.
And he keeps beating the actor boys for their parts.
Can you imagine the size of Pipsqueak’s ego? It must be monolithic by now.
Which is why he thinks he’s got this. This movie thing. This entire artform, he’s got it. After all, he’s worked with David Fincher, and this has to mean, since he’s JT and can do anything, that he can direct. And well.
Really?
See below, an ad for his 901 Tequila, directed by none other than the Pippy. He imbued it with his own, um, acting technique. And that accounts for this woman’s delivery – it’s actually worse than his girlfriend, to say nothing of the Try. Because of course it wouldn’t be sexy without the suggestion of some oral. Pip is a true original.

^sorry I re posted that, I didn’t see that it was already posted.
Yes, I wonder why Justin keeps beating out other really talented young actors for these movie roles.
Also about Amanda Seyfried. It was rumored Justin was hanging out with her when Jessica was filming Easy Virtue in the UK a couple of years ago.
Let me see if I can find the gossip article.
It’s from Rush and Malloy of the New York Daily News from January 2008.
.
“Does Justin Timberlake have a thing for his former “Alpha Dog” co-star Amanda Seyfried? The duo dropped by Pink Elephant but left together after just 15 minutes. Said an insider: “Amanda’s no Jessica Biel, but they seem to enjoy each other’s company.”

Again…
.
Justin’s got a brand new bag. After kicking in on a few dates with Jessica Biel he is apparently bored and looking to score some new tail. Justin and Amanda met up at Pink Elephant in NY before leaving just 15 minutes after they got there. One drink and panties fall from the heavens when you are Justin. At least these two crazy kids aren’t complete strangers . They shared the screen …

^maybe becuz directors or writers rather have a bigger name or celebrity like Justin to draw in big money rather than real acting talent. Lol
Amanda’s no Jessica Biel, but they seem to enjoy each other’s company.”
^yea it looks like he enjoys everybody’s company except Jessica’s. Lol
