Bieber is currently on a major tour and is now performing in Nashville, where coverage for the movie is underway; the teenage sensation will ultimately end up at Madison Square Garden on August 31st, which should provide plenty of wild footage of girls screaming and... whatever else happens at a Justin Bieber concert..

This is what Chu had to say about the hiring: "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."

The Justin Bieber movie comes out on Valentine's Day weekend, 2011.
