The Coen brothers have offered Justin Timberlake one of the lead roles in their upcoming film Inside Llewyn Davis. The film will follow Llewyn Davis, a struggling folk musician in 1960s Greenwich Village, and one of those he mentors is a character named Jim, which Timberlake is being considered for. Timberlake would have to take on the musical elements of the role as the film explores the developing folk music scene of the time period. The Coen brothers are looking to start filming early next year.
