The Coen Brothers have done no wrong in my opinion. They continue to create fantastic movies, all somewhat different but with the same result of them being fucking awesome. Well, from the way it's looking, they're on the way to making another hit. Inside Llewyn Davis follows a young musician trying to make it in the 1960's Greenwich Village folk scene. So far, the movie has Oscar Isaac, who was fantastic in Drive, and it has Carey Mulligan, who was also fantastic in Drive but is just a great actress to begin with. Joining this cast is Justin Timberlake and John Goodman. Goodman has been a frequent collaborator of The Coen Brothers, starting with Barton Fink (which I highly recommend). He hasn't been in a Coen Brothers film for over 10 years though, with the musical O Brother, Where Art Thou?, which I also thought was brilliant. There are no details for Goodman's character, so we'll see what comes up. As well as Goodman, Justin Timberlake has been offered a co-lead in the film. Hit the break for more details.
According to Variety, Timberlake will be playing the role of Jim, a folk musician who is married to Carey Mulligan's character, Jean. There really isn't much else on Timberlake's character, but this is an exciting opportunity for him. He's played a majority of supporting roles, and In Time doesn't count as a leading role to me since, well, no one seems to be able to take that movie seriously anyway. This role could possibly skyrocket Timberlake's acting career even higher, since if you can show you have true talent in a Coen Brother's movie after showing you did well with limited screen time in a Fincher movie, well then damn. When there's more details on his character, you all will be the first to know.
