Page Six wants to know. Anyone got an opinion?
He's one of the biggest stars in the world, recently won an Emmy Award, has sold millions of records, is considered the only sure fire host on "Saturday Night Live" and has legions of loyal fans. So why can't Justin Timberlake get any big screen love?
His latest film, "Open Road," is just the latest detour on his continued attempt to conquer feature films. The Jeff Bridges co-starring movie is scheduled to debut Nov. 17 -- on DVD. Granted going straight to DVD isn't the kiss of death it once was. But considering that this is JT's sixth live-action film to either tank at, or completely bypass the box office, it doesn't bode well for his career as matinee idol.
It would be one thing if he was completely inept at acting (like Paris Hilton), but Justin's got the goods. Sure, his role as a newbie reporter in "Edison" was laughable, but I can't be the only one who was wowed by his intense work in "Alpha Dog."
So, with filming on Justin's biggest role to date just now getting underway, I am officially worried about the David Fincher-directed, Aaron Sorkin-scripted, how Facebook began drama, "The Social Network."
I mean, Justin just might be the most unlucky man in movies.
