In news that sure to have every sexless sixteen-year-old gushing with glee, “Step Up 3D” helmer John Chu has signed to direct the Justin Bieber 3D Biopic.
The film, said to be ‘the life story’ (heh) of the pint-sized singing sensation, is already shooting – they’ve been capturing one of Bieber’s concerts, apparently.
Deadline reports, “Close to 20 directors, feature and documentary, stepped up for the job. Some sparked to the opportunity to helm what could be a hit. Others liked Bieber’s rags to riches story, and how his trajectory was fueled by the web.”
“When I was approached about doing Justin’s film, I jumped at the opportunity to tell a story with honesty and heart”, Chu said. “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.”
The Bieber flick (which is still untitled) is set for release Feb 11, 2011.
