Ritchie & Timberlake To Team Up For Movie

Guy Ritchie has reportedly lined up Justin Timberlake to star in a remake of Guys And Dolls.

The director is said to have roped in movie hardman Jason Statham to show off his vocal talents in a reworking of the classic musical.

And now he's asked Timberlake, who starred in 2006 crime movie Alpha Dog, to also appear in the new project, according to Britain's The Sun newspaper.

A source tells the publication, “Work is really taking off for Guy at the moment and he is lining up talent for projects in the pipeline. Guy and Justin have known each other for a while through Guy’s ex-wife Madonna.

"Guy rates Justin as an actor. He thought he was impressive in Alpha Dog. He likes his personality. Justin would be ideal for Guys And Dolls because he can act, dance and sing.

"He would be a great box office draw into the bargain, as well as a safe bet to sell the soundtrack.”

Yeah, that's what the reports say. I'm sure he won't be worse than Pierce Brosnan.
