Justin Timberlake is close to signing on to star in the rom-com "Friends With Benefits" says Deadline New York.Timberlake plays a headhunter who agrees to sleep together with a female magazine editor friend with no strings attached. He soon falls for her, despite the fact she's dating someone else.
Will Gluck directs from a script by Keith Merryman and David Newman.
This pic should not to be confused with two other projects with the same name - an NBC pilot from Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber and the Ivan Reitman-directed comedy with Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman previously titled "F**kbuddies."
Screen Gems registered the name first, the Paramount Pictures film will likely change titles. The NBC pilot however could keep the title.
