Timberlake will play Carlton Garrett, a member of the real minor league team the Corpus Christi Hooks and the superstar musician recently attempted to meet with players of the Houston Astros’ Double-A team in Austin recently, but schedules didn’t align.
“Justin wants to portray what it’s like playing for the Hooks, playing for an Astros minor league team and playing at Whataburger Field,” Hooks President J.J. Gottsch said in a useless statement meant to pad a filler Ap story and then regurgitated to pad an ever thinner blog post. The film is about young baseball player trying to reconnect with his father — a legendary athlete played by Jeff Bridges. Shooting began on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, “The Love Guru,” starring Timberlake, Jessica Alba and Mike Myers is currently filming and yet is still set for a June 20, 2008 release date.
