I’d watch this movie for that reason alone, but add Clint Eastwood and baseball, and it’s a no-brainer… I’m there!

Oh, and baseball and the Braves and the movie was shot on location here in Atlanta and Rome (the Braves’ A-ball team).

I don’t necessarily mind JT in a movie, but he has really only one character to play. And my bet is that its himself. Of course thats a lot of actors so I probably shouldn’t hold it too much against him.

The director of this one, Robert Lorenz, played second fiddle to Eastwood when directing: Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, as well as Absolute Power. He also produced a slew of gems including: Changeling & Gran Torino.

When Eastwood and Lorenz team up, it’s almost “can’t miss”

I have high hopes for this one.

He was good in The Social Network because he just had to act like a douche who was in live with himself, which is really all he can play convincingly.

2) Justin Timberlake is at least 6 feet tall and kinda ripped so not exactly “lil”

and

3) He’s actually quite a good actor. I’ve never been a fan of his music, but to dismiss a movie because of his involvement is actually pretty stupid.

Frankly, even though he made some lame boy band and pop music I’m sure everyone here would much rather have a beer with him then you.

But JT was very good in “The Social Network.” In fact, he was the only good thing about it – most overrated movie I’ve seen in some time, with “Moneyball” a close second.

I was skeptical as well, but the guy can act. Alpha Dog, Black Snake Moan…he was fantastic in both of those roles, plus he is funny as hell in the SNL skits/videos.

I was in college, playing in an away series at Southeastern Louisiana back in 2009 and Justin timberlake was taking batting practice with Southeastern Louisiana. It was supposed to be his training time for the movie, trying to get him ready for filming. It had to have been pretty early on in the training because….yea not too good. I was wondering if this movie got canceled or if it was a straight to DVD movie or something.

Then again I guess when your a living legend you can do wtf you want.

Conversation between writer and casting director:
Writer: We need a grumpy old man, who swears by his old ways and doesn’t take crap from young people.
Casting Director: How about Clint Eastwood?
Writer: GOLD!
