Sonnenfeld Still Eyeing Timberlake As Search Commences For Actor To Get 'Moist'
Published by Jennifer Vineyard on Tuesday, September 9, 2008 at 2:58 pm.
Justin Timberlake almost got "Moist" for his first movie in theaters– and now that he's no longer wet behind the ears, director Barry Sonnenfeld is looking at the singer as a possibility once more to get the project's juices flowing.
"Moist" is a darkly comic novel by Mark Haskell Smith about a morgue attendant named Bob, who is "living way below his ability," spending all his free time playing video games, until he comes across a severed arm with an erotic tattoo of a woman he falls for. In the course of trying to find out who she is, Bob ends up becoming Roberto, a kingpin of the Los Angeles Mexican mafia — ultimately replacing the man who the severed arm belonged to in the first place.
"I love the book," Sonnenfeld said. "Tonally, it's like 'Pineapple Express.'"
Sonnenfeld wanted the lead role in "Moist" (not to be confused with the Dr. Horrible version) to be a "good looking and yet somehow slightly quirky guy. He's not traditionally handsome. He's funny." So four years ago, he sent the script to Timberlake — who was just starting to shoot his first film, "Edison Force", which ended up going straight to video.
"He read the script, he liked it, we had lunch, he agreed to do it," Sonnenfeld recalled. "But through no fault of his own, nothing to do with him, we weren't able to get financing. So it almost got made, but not quite."
Now, the director is actively talking to studios once again about the project, he's got actors on the mind who might be best for Bob. "Jake Gyllenhaal, he's always funny," Sonnenfeld said. "Or Ashton Kutcher, or Seth Green, or who's that Mac guy? Justin Long."
Meanwhile, the other Justin — who's had a steady stream of not-quite-hits with "Alpha Dog," "Black Snake Moan," "Southland Tales" and (ahem) "The Love Guru" — might want to consider jumping back on board. Maybe it can't be his first movie, but it could still be a first for him — his first lead role. And Sonnenfeld still wants him: "Justin would be great."

Sounds like it could be an interesting movie.

I was reading about Amber's new show on IMDB. It's great she's getting soo many lead roles. I wish she would work with Chris a again.
I also wish that the IMDB jerks would shutup! Did you hear the rumor about her dating that guy who played Uncle Ian in Alvin And The Chipmunks?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 10 Sep 08 :: 05:46

We're going to have to lobby Chris to go up for any part that fits him on The Unsusals. I'm still on the hunt to see them reunited too. If for nothing more than a pic at an event.

Wanna hear something interesting...?

Amber lives or at least lived in Venice Beach
Becky lives in Venice Beach
Chris is currently staying at Ben Foster's place in Venice Beach while Ben's out of town on a shoot.

Someone really needs to get a pic of them together!

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 10 Sep 08 :: 05:50

I would love to meet Chris and Amber and take a picture of them. You should be the 1 to take the picture, Deb. And maybe if you did you could have an interview with them.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 10 Sep 08 :: 05:52

Nah, TeeJay needs to take the pics. But I'd die to interview them together.

domesticelefant · 10 Sep 08 :: 19:18

I can take good photos too!

Shame that Amber hasn't written back to me yet. I would LOVE to meet her in person and get my copy of her book signed ...
EDIT: I just checked her forum and she posted something yesterday, but didn't answer. Well, I guess she's busy shooting, so no chance to meet her.

TeeJay · 10 Sep 08 :: 19:45

I guess she's also not gonna write back just to say no. So I take her silence as a no. Would have been too good to be true.

-TeeJay

domesticelefant · 10 Sep 08 :: 19:49

Yeah, but I didn't expect her to be like that. I thought she'd answer. And she could have invited us to a set visit instead of the poetry show. Haha. THAT would have been cool, huh? LOL

TeeJay · 10 Sep 08 :: 20:09

Yeah, like she's gonna invite total strangers to her workplace! Get real, girl.

-TeeJay

domesticelefant · 10 Sep 08 :: 20:30

But I am not a stranger! She accepted me on her private forum, so she thinks I'm cool.

TeeJay · 10 Sep 08 :: 20:35

Yeah, along with the other 3000 best friends she accepted on that forum.

-TeeJay

domesticelefant · 10 Sep 08 :: 20:36

No, the private forum is only for special people. Like me.

TeeJay · 10 Sep 08 :: 20:39

Yeah, dream on. :devil: :silly:

-TeeJay

domesticelefant · 10 Sep 08 :: 20:43

Haha, you're just jealous!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 10 Sep 08 :: 21:01

Maybe my soft little daydream will come true...

We're hanging with Chris in Venice Beach and we mention that we heard Amber and Becky live there. So Chris goes, "Yeah, I know where they live. Let's call them and invite them out for coffee or something." So we all gather round a table at a little sidewalk cafe in VB for a nice long chat. Oh, and at this point, we've hit it off so well with Mike and Aaron that we call them up and invite them too. Pretty soon, we're having a JoA reunion.

TeeJay · 10 Sep 08 :: 21:38

Aaaah, help, I'm surrounded by delusional crackpots!!!!!

That would be soooooooooooooooooooooooooo coooooooool! And back home I could tell everyone I had my own private JoA reunion! :dancing:

TheCentralScrutinizer · 10 Sep 08 :: 22:03

Well, while the delusional crack-pots are off galavanting with their favorite actors, you can go to the gym or something. How 'bout that?

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 11 Sep 08 :: 04:21

Great daydream, Deb. Would I be invited to the JOA reunion?! : D

TheCentralScrutinizer · 11 Sep 08 :: 04:36

Can you get a plane ticket out to LA for the first weekend in October, Mel? If you can... well....

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 12 Sep 08 :: 05:59

Probably not. Only because of my parents though. If only it was during winter break or summer. I wish I didn't have stupid school. : (

Illinoisguy1 · 14 Sep 08 :: 09:03

Stills from New York, I Love You with Alpha Dog co-star Anton Yelchin.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 15 Sep 08 :: 05:20

That movie looks interesting. When is it going to be in theaters??

magicalturkey · 15 Sep 08 :: 12:44

Is it just me or does he really look like Orlando Bloom in the second picture and... some guy we all know but will remain nameless in the third?
