From Justin’s Blog:
“I’m proud to announce that I’ve been working on (and am about to start shooting a new film). I booked the role a few weeks ago, but didn’t want to say anything until it was solid. Well it’s solid. I play a race car driver, who is the love interest for the main character. I’m very happy about it and look forward to the next 3 weeks of shooting. It’s a film about a 20-something woman who wants nothing more than to be a race car driver…setting small town USA. A major race team comes to town, I’m one of the team drivers-successful, young, experienced-the rest is romance (not sappy…thank goodness, and her struggle to fulfill her dream by overcoming her greatest fear)
Â
It’s going to be a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to seeing the final product. It’s a feature-length film, and will be out next year (April is the release date, I think).”
I refuse to let any doubt, negativity, or J2K flashbacks enter my brain. I will instead begin a 24/7 prayer vigil to the Gods of Celebrity until April: “Please, oh please, oh please…let this be Justin’s ticket out of D-list land! He never deserved to be there in the first place - he is much too talented and way too nice of a guy to be a punchline.  We truly apologize for whatever we did to deserve Paris Hilton’s CD, so please give Justin another chance. Amen.”
The candle on my Justin shrine is burning bright and I’ve got everything I own crossed for you, JMan…it’s painful, but worth it!

Way to go, Justin. Sounds like a grownup movie. I want to see it.

Thank you IdolWire for your kind and encouraging words regarding Justin Guarini.
We are all looking forward to seeing Justin shine on the big screen in April.
Hopefully this racecar movie is just the “Vehicle” he needs for his talent to be universally applauded and recognized once again.
His fans love him. It is time for the world to see Justin as the fantastic entertainer he really is!
Thanks again for keeping everyone updated on the latest Justin news by posting it!
p.s- I see you have the various Idol cds posted to the side. You know Justin produced and independently released a wonderful smooth jazz cd called “Stranger Things Have Happened”. Could you post his cd with the others too?
Thanks and keep up the good work. We love to read Justin news!
