Bieber’s comin’ at ya!
Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. The film that will give fans around the world an exclusive VIP backstage pass into the life of Justin Bieber In Theaters Valentine's Day, 2011
HE’S THE Canadian pop phenomenon with the infuriating fringe-flicking trademark action that countless teen boys try to imitate.
He also happens to be the star of a film documentary that is reportedly the third-highest grossing documentary of all time, behind March of the Penguins and frontrunner Fahrenheit 9/11.
The film is Justin Bieber: Never Say Never and good news for countless under-14s is that the 3D version, chronicling Bieber’s rise to fame and immense fortune, hits Durban screens on Friday.
Justin Bieber: Never Say Never took more than $60 million (R420m) in three days – and that was only at box-offices in the US.
The movie is directed by Jon M Chu, who made Step Up 3D, and tells of how Bieber, who turned 17 on March 1, became the darling of the pop world after starting out as a street performer in the small town of Stratford, Ontario.
He first became an internet phenomenon, then a global superstar, culminating in a dream sold-out show at New York’s famous Madison Square Garden, a concert that was filmed in 3D.
It is this concert, and the 10 days leading up to it, that pulls the focus in the new documentary.
Bieber won the Artist of the Year award at the 2010 American Music Awards, and was nominated for Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album at the 53rd Grammys.
According to Wikipedia, the teen was discovered in 2008 by Scooter Braun, who happened to come across Bieber’s videos on YouTube and later became his manager.
Braun arranged for him to meet recording icon Usher in Atlanta, Georgia, and this led to a recording contract.
