After star turns in a string of movies including _The Social Network_, _Inside Llewyn Davis_, _Friends With Benefits_, and _Runner Runner_, Justin Timberlake basically abandoned Hollywood and went back to his day job: international pop superstar. Releasing [back-to-](http://www.amazon.com/The-20-Experience-Justin-Timberlake/dp/B00BCZU8WM)[back](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E1LPK40/ref=pd%5Flpo%5Fsbs%5Fdp%5Fss%5F3?pf%5Frd%5Fp=1944687742&pf%5Frd%5Fs=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf%5Frd%5Ft=201&pf%5Frd%5Fi=B00BCZU8WM&pf%5Frd%5Fm=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf%5Frd%5Fr=0T8HS6G827D0BHHFXGZN) studio albums in 2013, he set out on the 134-date “20/20 Experience World Tour” that saw Mr. [SexyBack](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gOHvDP%5FvCs) touch down at arenas across North America, Europe and Australia/New Zealand over a span of nearly 14 months.

Now, fittingly enough, that musical career reprise may end up heralding Timberlake’s multiplex return. He enlisted director Jonathan Demme — the Oscar-winning eminence responsible for _The Silence of the Lambs_ and 1984’s Talking Heads rockumentary _Stop Making Sense_, as well as this August’s Meryl Streep-starring rock ‘n roll dramedy [_Ricki and the Flash_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/04/ricki-and-flash-ew-review)— to film the final date on the “20/20” tour at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena.

And this fall, Demme plans to edit the footage into an independently financed, as-yet untitled feature. “It’s very emotional, very exciting,” says Demme with barely contained enthusiasm. “It’s a space age music film!”

The filmmaker knows of what he speaks. After all, Demme is uniquely acquainted with the demands of capturing live performance, having produced and directed a trilogy of concert documentaries for Neil Young — _Neil Young: Heart of Gold_, _Neil Young Journeys_ and _Neil Young Trunk Show_ — a concert doc for Kenny Chesney and a music video for Bruce Springsteeen (not to mention helping [transform Streep](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/07/how-meryl-streep-turned-rock-star-ricki-and-flash) into a credible bar band singer-guitarist for Ricki). Demme credits Timberlake’s old school showmanship — his current predilection for slicked back hair and tailored tuxedos, silken footwork and big band swing — with the overall sweep of the film, which has yet to ink a distribution deal.


“There’s tremendous dancing in this piece,” says Demme. “He’s got an extraordinary band called the [Tennessee Kids](http://justintimberlake.com/band). Huge horn section, two lead guitars, two drummers, eight dancers, four exquisite background singers. And we caught them on their last performance.”

Of Timberlake, the filmmaker adds: “He’s a funky Fred Astaire!”
