Here's the quick Bieber film update....ready...begin!
(This is for Jeff H. who first told me this was coming)
FILMMAKING TEAM IN PLACE FOR JUSTIN BIEBER FEATURE FILM DEBUT FROM
Paramount Pictures, MTV Films, Insurge PiCTURES and Island Def Jam Music Group
Scooter Braun, Island Def Jam Music Group Chairman LA Reid, and Grammy winning singer Usher will produce the currently untitled film that will give fans around the world an exclusive VIP backstage pass into the life of Justin Bieber. Paramount Pictures will release the movie in the U.S. on Valentine’s weekend 2011 under the newly created Insurge Pictures label.
“Jon, Jane and Dan are creatively the exact right combination, with each of them bringing a unique and fresh perspective to a movie that will give Justin’s fans an exciting and never-before-seen look into his life and career” said Paramount Film Group President Adam Goodman.
“When I was approached about doing Justin’s film, I jumped at the opportunity to tell a story with honesty and heart. Most people don’t know that his is a true underdog story, and I hope to tell it in a compelling, genuine way, using all source materials available to convey his tale of becoming an icon for this digital age. This is the story of a new voice continuing the tradition of musicians that defined their generation,” said Director Jon M. Chu.
“To be able to tell the story of Justin’s unique and revolutionary path to stardom in our first studio feature is an incredible opportunity for us,” said Magical Elves partners Jane Lipsitz and Dan Cutforth.
USC alum Chu has been at the helm of several hugely successful projects, including the sequel and latest installment of the popular “Step Up” dance franchise, and the #1 ranked original Hulu web-series The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers (The LXD) from Paramount Digital Entertainment.
