The Open Road – Trailer, One Sheet, And Stills

The very odd duo of Jeff Bridges and Justin Timberlake are coming to theaters August 28th in The Open Road, and I am not at all sure what to make of this road trip picture. The movie gives us Timberlake as a minor league baseball player who takes a road trip to see his estranged father (Bridges), who is a baseball legend. He makes the trip because his mother is sick, and when dear old dad surprisingly agrees to come see her, resulting in a second road trip, hilarity (or suchlike) ensues.

The film also stars Kate Mara, Harry Dean Stanton, Lyle Lovett and Mary Steenburgen.

I don’t know that the world needs another road trip movie, without some serious justification, but this looks like just the sort of oddball character I have been known to like Bridges in. I’m not sure what to make of this one at this point. Check out the trailer, and let me know what you think.
