Huge pop star makes Netflix debut in twisted first trailer for new movie Reptile

JUSTIN Timberlake has made his Netflix debut in a twisted first trailer for new movie Reptile.

The 42-year-old singer has starred in a number of films during his career including Friends With Benefits, The Social Network and In Time.

However, Justin’s first film with Netflix is about to drop on the streaming service, with a first look trailer hinting at the tension that is to come.

The crime thriller follows Detective Nichols – played by Benicio del Toro – as he investigates the brutal murder of a young real estate agent.

However, he uncovers more than he expected and it threatens his marriage to his wife, played by Alicia Silverstone.

Justin plays the boyfriend of the victim, and he is viewed as a suspect alongside others including a friend of the victim and the town’s local “weirdo”.

The cast also includes Michael Pitt, Ato Essandoh, Frances Fisher, Eric Bogosian and Domenick Lombardozzi.

The movie has been written by Benicio, Grant Singer – who is also making his directorial debut – and Benjamin Brewer.

Speaking about the movie, Grant said: “I think the movie will be exciting to people who like to watch something where you don’t know where it’s leading you, where a film is going to have twists and turns and deceive you.

“People who like things that are intense and visceral and suspenseful, I think they’ll find something exciting in this.

“I didn’t want to make something that felt cold and clinical and sterile.

“I wanted to make something that felt alive and warm and relatable and human.”

The film is set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7.

Reptile will be released on Netflix on October 6.
