The pop super star-turned-actor will appear opposite Benicio del Toro and Alicia Silverstone in Grant Singer's feature debut.
The Big Picture What started as a bit on The All-New Mickey Mouse Club has flourished into a life of boy band and solo singer fame as well as a solid on-screen career for Justin Timberlake. Looking back at the young man rocking what resembled ramen noodles for hair, it isn’t too hard to see that he had all the makings of a global superstar.
“His name came up very early in the process, and I loved that idea,” Singer explains on hooking the “Mirrors” singer for a supporting role in Reptile. “To me, because he is known as a pop star, and although he is such a fine actor - he has worked with some of the greatest directors from the Coen Brothers to David Fincher, what have you - I loved how inspired that idea was. Then, once I met him, I was like, ‘Oh, this is it.
In Reptile, Timberlake plays the boyfriend of a murdered woman. Proclaiming his innocence, he’s still the number one suspect in the killing - after all, it’s always the spouse or romantic interest. A difficult role to get right, Singer said, “That character is so hard because we’re always trying to portray the hunter as the hunted, something we’re doing in the movie, this sort of delicate balance, and grieving, and what is he thinking, and all these different things.
Justin Timberlake’s Career in Film While many of us will remember staying up to watch Timberlake’s first leading role in ABC’s 2000 classic, Model Behavior, that was just the start of the musician’s big screen takeover. Since then, he’s appeared in just about every genre under the sun, starring in titles including The Social Network, Bad Teacher, Friends with Benefits, Inside Llewyn Davis, Palmer, and the Trolls franchise.
Catch Reptile on Netflix on October 6, 2023, following its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7. Look for more from our exclusive interview with Grant Singer soon.
