Justin Timberlake “I’m.mortal” Movie

Justin Timberlake has landed a lead role in a big budget sci-fi blockbuster.

According to The Daily Express, the “SexyBack” singer has moved on from the music world and is focusing on films. His next movie will take his fame to a whole new level – a high profile role in ‘I’m.mortal’ opposite Amanda Seyfried, Deadline.com said Wednesday.

The “Cry Me A River” hitmaker – who has just finished filming ‘Bad Teacher’ alongside ex-girlfriend Cameron Diaz – will star opposite the Mean Girls actress in the science fiction project if he accepts the part.

The film – which is to be directed by Andrew Niccol – will focus on the idea of a society where people are unable to age past the age of 25, with those who wish to live longer having to buy extra time to extend their life. Justin – who has also starred in The Love Guru, Yogi Bear, and Southland Tales – will play a man forced to go on the run after he faces charges for murdering a person in the hope of stealing their time. Meanwhile, blonde beauty Amanda will star as his kidnap victim, who he decides to take on the run with him.
