Posted 02.01.12 by Ryan Since appearing as Sean Parker in the 2010 Facebook drama The Social Network, Justin Timberlake's acting career has been on the rise (we'll ignore providing the voice of Boo-Boo in Yogi Bear for the sake of argument). With Timberlake set to appear in Joel and Ethan Coen's upcoming musical Inside Llewyn Davis to start the year, the singer/actor will follow that with the baseball scout drama Trouble with the Curve, which will put him opposite Clint Eastwood.
The movie will be the first Eastwood has only acted in since 1993's In the Line of Fire, and will see him playing an aging baseball scout who embarks on a working road trip to Atlanta with his daughter (Amy Adams), a rising attorney. THR reports that Timberlake has been cast as a young scout who may be Adams' love interest.
Robert Lorenz, Eastwood's longtime producing partner, will direct Trouble With the Curve, which is set to start production in Atlanta this March. Matthew Lillard (The Descendants) was recently cast as a fellow scout.
