It looks like Justin Timberlake is getting closer to playing Elton John on the big screen. Elton's partner, David Furnish, tells E Online that "Elton and Justin have had conversations about it. Justin also says he has to feel comfortable with the director and the director has to be comfortable with Justin. The chemistry is really important. There's no race to make this. We're just going to take the time to make it right." Furnish added, "We're searching for a director. It's important we all share the same vision."

Did you ever see Justin playing Elton before? This is from a 1991 song called "This Train Don't Stop There Anymore"...pretty damn close.
