LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Justin Timberlake will make his film debut in a new crime drama called "Edison," the BBC reported Thursday.
The Grammy Award-winning pop star will play a journalist who uncovers a group of corrupt policemen in the movie, which co-stars Hollywood heavyweights Morgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey.

"After years of looking at scripts, he's decided on what we think is a terrific project," said Ken Sunshine, the former 'N Sync star's publicist.
Timberlake previously acted in a Disney teen television movie, "Model Behavior," in 2000, but "Edison" marks his big-screen debut.
The movie starts filming in Canada later this month and is expected to be released in 2005.
