Justin Timberlake, the SNL jokester, 'Motherlover' singer and Friends With Benefits star looks like he's taking his acting career very seriously these days.

The once-upon-a-time NSYNC front man has three films coming out this year: Bad Teacher (June), Friends With Benefits (July), and In Time. The latter of the three is slated to be released Oct. 2011, according to IMDB.

Timberlake hit the red carpet on Thursday to promote In Time, along with co-star Seyfried. He looked dashing in a plaid button up, vest, and flap cap.

I'm excited to be here. I'm geekin' out, Timberlake told reporters.

Timberlake said of the director Andrew Niccol, He has the ability to create a thrill ride. [The movie] doesn't really give you a chance to catch your breath.

That was what was exciting for me. I've never done a film like this, said the actor.
