Justin Bieber's life story will be told in 3-D
Pint-size tween star follows in the footsteps of Eminem, 50 Cent and Prince
"The Bieber" is heading to the big screen.
Music stars making the transition to the big screen is nothing new. From Frank Sinatra to Elvis to Madonna it's part of the natural progression if a singer is going to transition into an icon. It's extremely rare, however, for such artist to star as himself in a movie based on his own life. That fate now awaits Justin Bieber and in 3-D no less. Cue the screams of millions of teenage girls across the globe.
Joining the likes of Eminem, 50 Cent and Prince, Paramount Pictures has made a deal to turn Bieber's life story into a 3-D biopic. According to Deadline, Davis Guggenheim would direct the feature that would include performances from his current tour. More surprisingly, the film already has a release date of Feb. 11, 2011, a mere six months from now. That doesn't seem to indicate it will be of the critical quality of "Purple Rain," "8 Mile" or even "Get Rich or Die Tryin'."
The 16-year-old Bieber, who hails from Canada, was discovered on YouTube has had only one top ten U.S. hit, but his fans have made his video for "Baby" the most watched video ever with over 270 million views. He's currently in the middle of his "My World Tour."

August 2, 2010 at 11:04PM EST Reply to CommentPlease, at 16 years old I could count my chest hairs on one hand. What incredible things could this young man have accomplished that is so earth shattering that we need 3-D to see it?
No offense Justin, why don't you wait a few years until you have something to teach the adults as well. Also ticket and book sales will probably be better.
