Justin Timberlake to Star in Pepsi Stuff Super Bowl Commercial Emmy and Grammy Award-Winning Artist to Launch Pepsi's Biggest Promotion Ever

PURCHASE, N.Y., Jan. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Justin Timberlake, the multi-platinum recording artist, brings his star power to the Super Bowl in a Pepsi Stuff commercial. Justin inspires a "Magnetic Attraction" in a stunt- filled commercial showing how every sip of Pepsi gets you closer to the music and "stuff" you want.

Justin does a number of wild stunts that have him flying high and rolling low as he narrowly escapes disaster at every turn in the "Magnetic Attraction" spot. Directed by Craig Gillespie (director of the feature film "Lars and the Real Girl") and created by BBDO NY, the commercial demonstrates how Pepsi Stuff brings people closer to music, merchandise, apparel and more.

"Justin Timberlake is one of the biggest stars in the world, what better way to launch our biggest promotion ever than with him on the Super Bowl," said Cie Nicholson, SVP and chief marketing officer, Pepsi-Cola North America.
