Found a little more about the film and his role.

How many concurrent projects can be in development in Hollywood with the same title and same subject? The answer is apparently three. Justin Timberlake is finalizing a deal to star in "Friends With Benefits," which is not be confused with previously announced Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher project to be directed by Ivan Reitman nor with the forthcoming TV series.

Timberlake's project, set up at Screen Gems and to be directed by Will Gluck ("Fired Up!"), concerns "a headhunter [who] recruits an editor to run a men's magazine...since each is too busy to find a mate, they agree to sleep together with no strings attached. Things get complicated when the guy falls for the girl, who's dating someone else." Keith Merryman and David Newman wrote the script, but Gluck is expected to do a rewrite.
