The music video for Justin Timberlake's comeback single "Suit & Tie" (featuring Jay-Z) will be directed by David Fincher, the creator of films such as "Seven," "Fight Club" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," according to the Playlist [1].
Timberlake and Fincher previously collaborated on the 2010 Best Picture nominee "The Social Network," in which the pop star played Sean Parker alongside Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield. A lyric video for "Suit & Tie" was released last week, and the Mar. 19 release date of Timberlake's third studio album, "The 20/20 Experience," was revealed in the clip.
After Timberlake was confirmed to perform at the Grammy Awards next Sunday (Feb. 10), the singer announced [2] on Friday that he will be performing at the Palladium in Los Angeles that night as his first full-length solo show in years. Tickets to the show will go on sale on Saturday at noon PT.
Before he became an Oscar-nominated director, Fincher honed his skills as a music video director, creating classic clips for artists like Madonna, Billy Idol, Aerosmith and George Michael. He has not directed a music video since Nine Inch Nails' "Only" in 2005; Trent Reznor, the leader of Nine Inch Nails, co-created the score to "The Social Network" for Fincher.
