Justin Timberlake will return to music, if only briefly. Fans pining for more Justin Timberlake music, rejoice. The ‘Sexy Back’ singer has signed on to provide the soundtrack for ‘The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea’.
The film (the title of which is just one word away from a George Harrison song but sounds deceptively like a Bright Eyes track) is set to start shooting later this year. Bill Purple will direct Jeffrey Dean Morgan, it-girl Chloe Moretz and Justin Timberlake’s longtime love Jessica Biel. Biel and Timberlake are supposedly tying the knot this summer.
It’s a tale of some New Orleans natives who build a raft to cross the Atlantic after Morgan’s character loses his wife. Timberlake hasn’t put out an album since 2006. He has long explained his absence from music as a matter of shifting interests.
