Two Days Later Guggenhein Drops the Bieber Biopic
Superman is reportedly stealing him away
Well, it sure didn't take long for Oscar-winning director Davis Guggenheim to drop out of the directing gig for the Untitled 3D Justin Bieber Biopic.
Mike Fleming at Deadline reports Guggenheim withdrew last night saying "he'll be too busy promoting Waiting For Superman" to perform helming duties on the 3D biopic of Bieber, a 16-year-old YouTube popstar sensation.
I must admit, while I don't care who does what, it was a bit shocking to learn Guggenheim was tackling such an odd production, but it's really no more odd than him being named director only to have news surface saying he's dropped out only 48 hours later. What gives?
We could speculate as Fleming has that "Guggenheim might have gotten too much razzing from all of his documentary peers," but I think we all can be quite certain it had nothing to do with his promotion duties related to Waiting For Superman, which Paramount is also distributing. I hardly doubt the studio upped his PA tour schedule shortly after working out a deal with him to direct another one of their pictures.
Apparently Paramount has already begun interviewing directors for the gig. Why don't they just call up Kenny Ortega (Michael Jackson's This is It), Bruce Hendricks (Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour) or Peter Chelsom (Hannah Montana: The Movie)? I mean, Hendricks even has 3D experience.
The Bieber biopic is already set for a Valentine's Day weekend, February 11, 2011 release. You can get more information on the film from my previous report right here.

This pleases me in a way I can't fully grasp just yet. All I know is that there is indeed a God haha.
Prehaps this is for the greater good
Ha. Ha. This kind of ribbing is why Guggenhein abandoned the project. Why not call Curtis Hanson (8 Mile), Catherine Owens/Mark Pellington (U23D), Jim Sheridan (Get Rich or Die Tryin (50 Cent))?
Truthfully, this is an obnoxious, no talent kid whose career will tank when he hits puberty so they need to cash in as soon as possible, before he's not "cute" anymore. But it's hard for me to say that because this is the kind of disdain that has often been heaped upon Miley Cyrus, someone who will have a solid career for the next forty or more years.
@Brad, I appreciate the professionalism of having a picture attached to an article that prominently mentions someone like Guggenheim.
YES!!!!!
LOL mfan. You really think Miley Cyrus will be popular in 40 years time?
She'll be lucky to be big in 2015.
Basically, Miley has built up enough good will that she could coast on it. But she's anything but a coaster.
L.O.L. is actually the name of Miley's next movie! It's filming now. People have been waiting for her to fail for a couple of years now; but so far, all of her projects have been financially successful. Her next four films should do well, too. Though having watched some of the original L.O.L. (it's a remake of a french film), I'm wondering how much they are going to tone it down. Or if not toning it down is the whole point of Miley choosing that project.
Musically, Miley can perform circles around most acts now, and she keeps upping her game. And there are no major negatives to sidetrack her or hold her back.
In movies, I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to the day when critics will, at least, talk about her like Tyler Perry, who gets respect because he just keeps making money. Unlike Perry, though, Miley's films will continue to get better and better.
Though there are a lot of people who would like to see Miley fail, there are also a lot who would like to see her succeed. And she is doing her part to make her fans proud.
