Justin Bieber fans won’t be wrinkling their foreheads as Paramount Pictures announced that they have found a “speedy” replacement to take the helm of the Canadian star’s 3D biopic movie. As we all can remember, its first director was Davis Guggenheim but he had to refuse the offer because he has prior engagements.

So now Justin Bieber’s film will be megged by Step-Up 3D director Jon M. Chu! Chu will take over for Justin’s movie, finally you can all rejoice! In his statement Mr. Chu said: “Most people don’t know that this 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.”

Another fabulous news is that the release date hasn’t been moved or changed, so save your Valentine’s Day film treat next year for Justin’s biopic movie. Also, another great movie we have to watch out for is Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours. Boyle was the director of the award winning movie Slumdog Millionaire, but his new movie talks about a mountain climber named Aron Ralston who amputated his arm to escape being trapped by a boulder at the bottom of a canyon in Utah. His new movie is scheduled to be released at the London Film Festival in October.
