Watch Justin Timberlake in 'Open Road' trailer

Justin Timberlake is back on the big screen in Michael Meredith's upcoming drama "The Open Road," and a trailer for the indie flick has just popped up online. Watch it after the jump.

Timberlake plays a young man looking to reconnect with his long-lost father (Jeff Bridges) -- a famous athlete -- and bring him back to the bedside of his ailing mother (Mary Steenburgen).

"The Open Road" doesn't look like anything that will explode at the box office, but as long as it's done right, it may pull some fans. The trailer's got me interested at least.

Plus, Timberlake's proven before he's fully capable of delivering a solid big-screen performance. He really did some impressive work in "Alpha Dog." Watch for "Road" in theaters Aug. 28, 2009.
