Justin Timberlake to star in a musical with Snoop Dogg

Justin Timberlake is to star in a musical with Snoop Dogg.

The ‘SexyBack’ singer is being lined up to appear in a new movie produced by Hong Kong singer-and-actress Leslie Loh.

Leslie said: “We are in talks with Snoop and Justin about a film.

“It’s a perfect marriage between movies and music and will suit them down to the ground.”

The musical is not the only new movie being lined up for Justin.

It was recently claimed he will star in Guy Ritchie’s next film after they hit it off during a drinking session at the British director’s London bar The Punchbowl.

A source said: "Work is really taking off for Guy at the moment and he is lining up talent for projects in the pipeline.

"Guy and Justin have known each other for a while through Guy's ex-wife Madonna."

Guy thinks Justin - who has previously appeared in 2006 film 'Alpha Dog' - would be perfect for his big-screen version of musical 'Guys and Dolls' or a remake of the classic war film 'Wild Geese'.

The source added: "Justin would be ideal for 'Guys and Dolls' because he can act, dance and sing. He would be a great box office draw into the bargain, as well as a safe bet to sell the soundtrack."
