Justin Bieber’s concert movie/bio pic still needs its director. Paramount Pictures confirmed today that Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim will not be joining the 3-D project. The director of the upcoming Waiting for Superman documentary was a name being considered for the project, but his promotional duties surrounding his film on our nation’s troubled public education system prevents him from focusing on another movie at this time. Guggenheim officially passed on the project last night.
The helmer, whose previous credits include An Inconvenient Truth, was never attached to the project, so it’s unfair to say that he has dropped off it. Deadline Hollywood first reported the news.
Paramount and its MTV Films division intends to capture the nation’s Bieber Fever with a Valentine’s Day weekend release next year. The studio is looking at a few different options to helm the project, either two co-directors or one director and a strong producing team. Bieber is producing the project along with his manager Scooter Braun, L.A. Reid, and Usher.
That’s more like it. The very thought of that possible collaboration confused me to no end…. plus waiting for Superman was excellent! It deserves his full attention for promoting it.
Too bad, this is bound to be the best movie of 2011…not.
What is Hollywood turning into? A Justin Beiber biopic, really? REALLY!? A biopic!?
This is just SAD!!
What’s worse is that there are much more cringeworthy movies than this.
Die Bieber Die!!!
Amen!
It’s just funny how German that statement looks.
I’ve never seen a Davis Guggenheim movie. Am I missing something?
Here’s your chance, Scorsese
haha nice.
Hes 16!!A biopic? How much of a story can there be?

I’m glad that they’re not doing a Justin Bieber 3d concert film. If they were the Jonas Brothers would be way better than his. He doesn’t deserve a 3d concert. I can’t stand him. It took him only a year to get popular it took the Jonas Brothers more than a year to get popular. And he seems to be more popular than the Jo Bros. He needs to die. JB doesn’t stand for Justin Bieber it stands fo Jonas Brothers. Justin’s fans need to realize that he’s a bad roll model.
