Justin Timberlake has nabbed the coveted male lead in "
Bad Teacher," the Cameron Diaz comedy that Jake Kasdan is directing for Columbia.
The script by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky follows a foul-mouthed, gold-digging seventh-grade teacher (Diaz) who, after being dumped by her boyfriend, sets her sights on a colleague (Lucy Punch) who is dating a substitute teacher (Timberlake) who also is the scion of a watch fortune.
