The film follows an aging baseball scout (Eastwood) taking one last road trip to see a player, with his estranged daughter (Adams) in tow. Timberlake is set to star as the lead, Eastwood's pal Johnny Flanagan, a former pitcher who now works as a baseball scout for the New York Yankees." He'll also act as a love interest for Adams.
"Curve," which was recently given a Sept. 28 release date, should be positioned as an Oscar candidate during next year's awards season. After all, it'll star Eastwood, in his first role since 2008's "Gran Torino," as well as Adams, who was nominated three times before, most recently for "The Fighter." Robert Lorenz, a longtime Eastwood collaborator, will make his directorial debut with the film.
As for Timberlake, he's also starring in yet another Oscar candidate, "Inside Llewyn Davis," the Coen Brothers folk-era drama -- a fact which eluded his co-star to-be, John Goodman.
Since his critically acclaimed role in "The Social Network," Timberlake has starred in two romantic comedies ("Bad Teacher" and "Friends with Benefits") and the futuristic action movie, "In Time." While none received Oscar nominations, the films more than made up for that in sales -- thanks to Timberlake's star power. However, ever the actor, it seems clear that simple box-office plaudits aren't enough for JT; the dude wants a little gold man of his very own.
