Timberlake Demands Revisions of Script for Elton John Biopic


After agreeing to play Elton John in a movie biography, Justin Timberlake is apparently having second thoughts -- although he is apparently not concerned that portraying a gay rock star will adversely affect his image. Quite the contrary, he indicated in an interview with Britain's Daily Star. He said that when he was initially approached, "I thought, 'Wow, you're offering me that role?' But when I read the script, all the wild stuff had been left out." The newspaper has said that Timberlake wants the film to include "sex and drug-taking" and that the producers of the film, budgeted at $39 million, have now ordered a massive rewrite in order to keep the pop star aboard. "I told the studio that it would have to be warts-and-all so that's what it's going to be. I can't wait to get started," Timberlake told the newspaper.
