Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck's Runner, Runner Official Trailer Released—Watch Now!

Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck are joining forces in the upcoming flick, Runner, Runner.

The first official trailer was released Wednesday, giving a glimpse at the fast-paced action thriller that's based on real events.

In it, Affleck plays a wealthy businessman, thanks to his successful (and less-than-legal) online poker companies. Timberlake takes on the role of a Princeton student who takes a bite out of the competitive online gambling world.

After learning that Affleck is more enemy than friend, and that he's in serious trouble with the law, JT is left fighting for what's left of his fortune.

The two battle it out in what appears to be the movie to see this fall.

The flick also stars Anthony Mackie and Gemma Arterton. Runner, Runner hits theaters Sept. 27.

And while Affleck is taking his turn at playing the bad guy, it's only a matter of time before he's donning a batsuit for his role as Batman. It was announced last month that the hunky Hollywood actor would be taking on the coveted character for the Man of Steel sequel alongside Henry Cavill's portrayal of Superman.

During an interview on Fresh 102.7's Jim and Kim Show Timberlake spoke out in support of his Runner costar's ability to take on the bat role, despite tons of casting criticism.

"I worked with Ben last summer and I've seen his process. I think he's a brilliant filmmaker. I think he's an extreme talent, so he could surprise a lot of people."

But when Justin was asked if he'd want to play Robin, he answered with a laugh, "Not a chance in hell," clarifying, "I ain't playin' Robin. I have no aspiration to ever be a superhero in a movie. Now villain? I'll tell you the villain I want to play more than anything because I grew up loving Batman, funny enough, is the Riddler. The Riddler is my favorite villain."

"The Riddler was like a sociopath," he added. "He was proper crazy. So if I'm gonna play crazy, I'm wanna play proper crazy."

"I'm ready," he said. "The Riddler. Gimme a call."

Now that would be awesome!

Aardman animates Pink Floyd trailer

20 August 2013 Last updated at 11:02 GMT The three-minute trailer uses the soundtrack of Eclipse from Dark Side of the Moon.

Aardman Animations, the studio behind Wallace and Gromit, has unveiled a trailer for Sir Tom Stoppard's play Darkside, based on the Pink Floyd album Dark Side of the Moon.

The seminal prog-rock album celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.

Sir Tom's play, which stars About Time actor Bill Nighy, will be broadcast on Radio 2 on 26 August.

Described as a "philosophical comedy", the play also stars Rufus Sewell as superhero Ethics Man.

Released in March 1973, Dark Side of the Moon was the eighth studio album by the British band and thematically explored ideas such as greed and conflict.

It was also partly influenced by the mental illness suffered by former lead singer Syd Barrett, who left the band in 1968.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Front Row, Sir Tom said: "I used a lot of the album, well all of it other than the lyrics, as a kind of underscore. I was picking up emotional cues from the music.

"I called [guitarist and singer] David Gilmour and asked: 'Do you mind if I write dialogue on top of your instrumental pieces?', and he said ,'Of course not'."

'Spirit of the album'

James Robinson, producer of BBC radio drama said: "The album represents the ultimate immersive listening experience - you put on a pair of headphones, open your ears and travel somewhere else.

"We thought it would be interesting to see what sort of a journey the album takes Tom Stoppard on. Tom is a huge fan of Pink Floyd and the idea really fired his imagination."

Aardman's three-minute long trailer is a montage of disturbing images of a world seemingly on the verge of collapse, huge ploughs ripping up landscapes and skies filled with warplanes.

It also features a voiceover warning of the consequence of mankind's consumption of the planet's natural resources and uses the soundtrack of Eclipse from Dark Side of the Moon.

Sir Tom, 76, added the play was not a direct interpretation of the songs on the album, which includes the tracks Money, On The Run and The Great Gig in the Sky.

"I didn't try to make a story that was the album writ large in any way," he said. " I invented a little story in the spirit of the album, taking a cue as to what level of reality this story might be on."

In the lead-up to the programme, Radio 2 will broadcast a number of programmes to complement and celebrate the album's anniversary.

The interview with Sir Tom Stoppard is available on the iPlayer.
