Justin Timberlake has been allegedly offered to star as a folk musician in the forthcoming folk music based drama movie ‘Inside Llewyn Inside’.

The ‘Friends with Benefits’ star Justin Timberlake seems to be getting another meaty role in the upcoming movie ‘Inside Llewyn Inside’ by Coen brothers. His recent movie ‘In Time’ a futuristic action flick has hit the theaters recently. It has been alleged that, he was offered a very significant character in the upcoming folk music of 1962s era themed movie.

If the deal gets locked, the Sean Parker of ‘The Social Network’ will play the role of a folk musician with the name Jim. Meanwhile Carrey Mulligan will play the role of his wife in the movie. The movie will be directed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen. The story of the movie focuses on a singer-songwriter, who follows the folk music of New York City of 1960s era. The lead role of the movie is reportedly been inspired by Dave Van Ronk, a folk singer and a friend of Bob Dylan nd many well known musicians.

The titular character of the movie ‘Inside Llewyn Inside’ is played by Oscar Isaac the star of ‘Drive’, who dons the character of a struggling folk artist born and raised in Queen. However, he fails to make the ends meet playing music, despite being a talented musician. Besides the direction, the Coen brothers will also serve as the screenwriters for the movie. The production of the movie ‘Inside Llewyn Inside’ has been scheduled to start in early 2012 and the movie has been expected to hit the US theaters sometime in the year 2013.
