the passion of the justin timberlake
Antonio Banderas (ever the worrier) is concerned that Justin Timberlake will be "crucified" when people see him in the thriller Edison next year. If by crucified he means "adored by man and woman alike", or "getting laid by a-list actresses despite his goofy insistence on beat-boxing", then yes, I suspect just that. Oh! How I pity him.
Banderas further remarks: "I think this should be a totally open profession to anybody who wants to try." Umm, Antonio. Technically it is. But there's this wacky system that funnels the Timberlakes of the world, however talented or untalented they may be, into Hollywood blockbusters, and the innocent young Iowans just looking for a break, into porn.
i've always said Justin Timberlake would be perfect to star in a movie about Thomas Edison.
wait... this movie isn't about Thomas Edison?
argghhh how long will i have to wait??!?!

Oh yes, it was so very thrilling when Edison invented the lightbulb. That could sustain two hours alone. The thinking, the test runs, the singed fingers. I envision the entire film in montage, set to "The Final Countdown" on loop. An anachronism, but it worked for A Knight's Tale, right?
