Michael Jackson gave us
Thriller,
Justin Timberlake brings back the format and gives us
What Goes Around ...Comes Around, a music video which is also a short film.
Justin's short film for promotion for his third single is actually his first video to have explicit language, and has (obviously) two versions : the first being the short film version (credited as Director's Cut) which has been released over
iTunes and leaked onto
YouTube, and the second which is a shortned version of the Director's Cut version for television channels. Rumor has it, that a third 30 minute version of the video will also be released. The video's dialogue was written by
Alpha Dog's writer and director
Nick Cassavetes and directed by
Samuel Bayer. It stars
Justin,
Scarlett Johansson and
Alpha Dog co-star
Shawn Hatosy. The video begins with
Justin hooking up with
Scarlett, which leads to a very intense relationship between the two of them. Later,
Hatosy (who is
Justin's best friend in the video) falls for
Scarlett which leads to finding them kissing. It all ends in a car chase between
Justin and
Scarlett (who eventually runs away after beign found kissing
Shawn by
Justin).
Johansson's character eventually dies in a car crash while
Timberlake sees it all. Very passionate, heavy and intense, this is
Justin's longest and greatest video to date. The song is positively reviewed, and it is suggested to be superior to previous
SexyBack and
My Love. Enjoy!
