Will Justin Timberlake Sing for your Coen Brothers and sisters in 'Inside Llewyn Davis'

As Moviefone happily mentioned on Friday, Justin Timberlake was formerly a relatively effective music artist. Who understood, right?! Wonderful his acting performances throughout the past few years (both positive and negative hey, 'Love Guru'!), it's sometimes easy to forget that JT is certainly a proficient singer, accountable for top Top-40 singles in the last decade. ("Cry Us a River": still awesome.) Which is why Timberlake's potential participation inside the Coen brothers's 'Inside Llewyn Davis' so intriguing: the film is among the '60s folk scene in NY's Greenwich Village, and Timberlake could find themselves playing a folk music artist if he accepts the Oscar-winning brothers's offer. Translation: cell phone industry's colliding! Variety reviews that Joel and Ethan Coen have extended an offer to Timberlake to star as Carey Mulligan's onscreen husband, a singer named Jim. Oscar Isaac ('Drive') plays the titular Davis, a fighting NY music artist who can't settle the debts despite immense talent. Hardly any other particulars are known presently, but considering simply how much music the Coens found in 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' it seems logical you may anticipate 'Inside Llewyn Davis' being chockablock with tunes. With Timberlake and Mulligan -- who not only sang with Belle & Sebastian, but supplies a show-stopping performance of "NY, NY" in 'Shame' -- aboard, you will probably have an interest the soundtrack.
