The Deadline blog has reported that Paramount Pictures have signed a deal to turn Justin Bieber's life story into a 3D feature biopic, with the teen megastar playing himself.
Apparently the as yet unnamed film will be directed by Davis Guggenheim, the Oscar-winning director of An Inconvenient Truth.
Manager Scooter Braun and Island Def Jam chairman L.A. Reid are said to be producing the film, which will feature real-life performance from Bieber’s current concert tour.
It is alleged that the film will come out February 11, 2011 on Valentine's Day weekend, a fact which is bound to please swooning teenage Bieber fans around the globe.
Bieber himself confirmed the news in a series of tweets last night:
