Justin Timberlake making music… for the movies

So keen is Justin Timberlake to do anything rather than record a new studio album, he’s now taken on the role of music supervisor for a forthcoming Hollywood movie starring his fiancée, actress Jessica Biel. I ask you, JT, when will this anti-album procrastination end?

Actually, it’s not all bad news for those pining for some original Timberlake tune-age. As well as selecting other people’s songs for his missus’s movie, the part-time MySpace exec and (very) occasional pop star has apparently also promised to write some new music for the film himself.

The movie, by the way, is entitled ‘The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea’. This is IMDB’s synopsis of it: “Unable to reconcile the grief from recently losing his wife, an introverted architect befriends a wisecracking young girl and agrees to help her build a raft to cross the Atlantic”.

Yes, really. Shooting on ‘The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea’ is due to begin in autumn, so we shouldn’t expect to hear anything of Timberlake’s soundtrack until 2013 presumably.
