Justin Timberlake has been cast in the Neil Bogart biopic Spinning Gold, EW has confirmed, playing the self-made music producer, whose Casablanca Records was responsible for launching the careers of 1970s icons including KISS, Donna Summer, The Village People, and Parliament. (Deadline first reported the story.)
The film also marks Timberlake’s debut as a feature producer in association with Boardwalk Entertainment Group, which Bogart’s sons co-founded. “From the moment we met Justin, we knew we’d found our Neil Bogart,” said Tim Bogart, who also wrote the screenplay, in a release. “With Justin also a producer on the movie, together we’re crafting this saga about a young dreamer who started with nothing and came of age in the ’60s and ’70s, believing anything was possible and every risk was worth taking.”

Are you ready for Justin Timberlake as a leading man?
Beautiful talented man! Wish he’d sing more though!
Dear Hollywood,
We no longer wish to have Justin Timberlake in any more of your films.
Sincerely,
EVERYONE
Vivica A. Fox should play Donna Summer.

America loves crap.
This sounds great for him.
@LOL…america hates you buddy.
Not at all.
LOL speaks the truth.
Can’t Justin just fade away?! He’s totally lame, not funny, not getting better looking with age and a rotten actor.
I like this.
I’m glad to hear this after it seemed that Justin Timberlake had sadly stopped doing films by the looks of it with only ‘In Time’ left to be released and no other film projects because everyone is hounding him about why he’s doing movies instead of music.
I want Justin Timberlake to keep doing movies rather than resuming his music career.
“Sadly stopped doing films”?
That would be a blessing.
Ok. We get it, “lisa”, you don’t like him. We heard you already.
You say hello, I say goodbye.
I saw Bad Teacher and thought he was quite terrible. Diaz saved that movie.
Speak for yourself Stansfield…I love Justin. He’s very talented and he’s a good guy too.
Good for you, lola.
The world now knows your poor taste.
Can’t wait to see it! Stansfield, hater much? Justin probably has more money in his underwear at the moment then you ll ever make in your whole miserable life
he looks nothing like Neil Bogart. a prefect pick would have been Paul Giamatti
Alexis Jordan would be an excellent Donna Summer.
Donna’s daughter Brooklyn should play her in the film.
I cant imagine this role being played by one of today’s no talent divas.
Brooklyn would be able to embody the tremendous drama and intesity that only Donna possessed and still possesses.
As for me, I am excited about this movie because of her and her music. Neil was unfortunately just a conduit.
