Justin Timberlake is set to star in the title role of Sk Global’s upcoming dramatic feature “Palmer,” Sk Global co-CEOs John Penotti and Charlie Corwin announced on Thursday.
The drama will be directed by Fisher Stevens with principal photography taking place late fall. The script — written by Cheryl Guerriero — appeared on the 2016 Blacklist.
“Palmer” is about a former college football phenomenon named Eddie Palmer (Timberlake) who, after a stint in prison, returns to his hometown to get his life back on track. There, he faces not only lingering conflicts from his past but also a much more surprising challenge as he finds himself suddenly in charge of a unique young boy who has been abandoned by his wayward mother.”
