Deadline are reporting that Step Up 3D director John Chu has signed on the line to direct the planned Valentine’s Day 2011 Justin Bieber 3D movie (that we’re all so looking forward to).
Chu replaces David Guggenheim, who recently pulled out of the project.
Chu released the following statement confirming the news through Paramount Pictures.
“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.”
