Catch a Brief Glimpse of Barrow County in Trailer for Film 'Trouble with the Curve'

Actor-musician Justin Timberlake was in Barrow on March 12 shooting a scene for the film, which is set to open in theaters in September.

It's a quick shot of Justin Timberlake walking around a car off Covered Bridge Road in Barrow County and it's 1 minute and 18 seconds into the trailer for the Clint Eastwood film "Trouble with the Curve." 

According to IMDb and CBS News, the film focuses on Eastwood as an ailing Atlanta Braves baseball scout in his twilight years who takes his daughter, played by Amy Adams, along for one last recruiting trip.

Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith talked golf with Timberlake on the set back in March. Smith said the scene that was filmed on Covered Bridge Road off Ga. Highway 211 near the Barrow-Jackson county line features Timberlake driving down a country road, where he sees a group of kids playing baseball in a field. An aspiring radio announcer, Smith said Timberlake stops to watch the game and offers his own play-by-play.
