Justin Timberlake, Vanessa Hudgens headed to Austin
You read it in Out & About first: Justin Timberlake is bringing his SexyBack to Austin, booked to shoot a movie here later in January. Sources tell us he’ll stay at the Four Seasons and tool around in an SUV, but which movie will he grace?
Most likely suspect: “40 Love,” the Weezie Melancon-directed tennis comedy, which could be lifted by a Timberlake cameo. Or perhaps it’s Terrence Malick’s assuredly more serious — and secretive — “Tree of Life,” also to star Sean Penn and Heath Ledger, and slated for Central Texas production soon.
Yet another possibility: The untitled Elton John biopic that Timberlake is listed to headline. Sir Elton is big on Austin, returning frequently. Would make some sense.
One more option: “Will,” which shoots here soon and is about a battle of the bands at a high school. Vanessa Hudgens (“High School Musical”) and Liam Aiken (“Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events”) star. Casting director Beth Sepko will audition high-school-age bands Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 501 Studios, Fifth and Brushy streets. Call (512) 472-5385 ext. 1 to make an audition appointment.

JT's in Austin - sighting at the Four Seasons on Friday night in the piano bar area. Elton John biopic, perhaps?
Might be easier to catch him there than ramming into an SUV.
