Stop looking in those “Mirrors” and look at this: The trailer for “Justin Timberlake + the Tennessee Kids” has arrived.

“Let’s #TimberlakeAndChill,” the singer-songwriter-dancer-actor-“Saturday Night Live” fixture tweeted Tuesday, along with the movie’s Oct. 12 drop date.

The doc, a Netflix Original Film directed by Jonathan Demme, captures the final show on Timberlake’s elaborate “20/20 Experience” world tour.

Oscar-winner Demme’s previous concert films show that Timberlake’s in good company: They include “Stop Making Sense” about the Talking Heads, “Neil Young Heart of Gold” and “Neil Young Trunk Show,” and “Kenny Chesney: Unstaged.”

Timberlake et al were on the road for 134 shows over 15 months in support of the pair of 2013 album releases that marked his return to music after a six-year hiatus. “Justin Timberlake + the Tennessee Kids” captures the Jan. 2, 2015, show at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

“JT+TKK” was produced by Playtone Productions’ Gary Goetzman, director Demme’s “Silence of the Lambs” colleague. It’s financed by Live Nation Productions.
