Timberlake performed one of his latest songs, a collaboration with Jay-Z, on Sunday night at the Oscar Awards. While Mumford and Jay-Z may be on two different spectrums, Timberlake has stated that he and Mumford have become "good friends" while working on the film together and make good teammates too.
"So not only will that be a great movie," he told the station, "but the music to it will be fantastic."
The Coen brothers are well known film directors and producers. Other films that they are responsible for include "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" "No Country for Old Men," and "True Grit."
Timberlake added that he was "lucky enough to work with Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan," both of whom will also star in the film.
