He's not long completed his turn as Dean Moriarty in Walter Salles' On The Road, but it seems Garrett Hedlund can't get enough of that crazy beat culture. He's now in talks to join the Coen Brothers' enigmatic Inside Llewyn Davis . The specific role under discussion is unclear, as is much about this project.

Isaac’s character is loosely based on Dave Van Ronk, a singer/songwriter who hung with the likes of Bob Dylan. This could be a another big boost to Timberlake’s acting career, but of course he’ll have decide whether he can handle the musical e...
