It's been announced that Justin Timberlake will film in a new movie about baseball. In it he will portray a fictional Hooks minor league baseball player. The Open Road is currently being shot in Hammond, La.

The film revolves around a young man trying to reconnect with his dad, while his mom is home sick. Mary Steenburgen and Jeff Bridges are also in the film.

Justin has also starred in Alpha Dog, Black Snake Moan and Shrek The Third with his ex-girlfriend, Cameron Diaz.

Hopefully, he doesn't strike out.
