Poll: What should Justin Bieber’s new movie be?

Share

Justin Bieber will soon be back on the big screen -- at least according to his Twitter feed.

Bieber, who is in the midst of his global Believe concert tour, recently tweeted, “rest of the world tour, movie, and #NEWMUSIC all coming this year! never stop working. #focused.”

Just what the movie will be isn’t immediately clear, but Bieber has a history of reeling in audiences at the box office -- his 2011 concert documentary, “Never Say Never,” grossed $98.4 million worldwide.

In the past, Bieber has shown interest in branching out into scripted roles -- in 2011, his team was developing a comedy for the singer called “What Would Kenny Do?,” with Ashton Kutcher slated to play his older self.

We know Bieber is busy, but we have a few cinematic ideas for him. Vote below and let us know what you think should be his next big-screen project.

-- “Fast and Furious 7”: Vin Diesel’s Dom finds Johnny, a baby-faced teenage runaway with a knack for hot-wiring, hiding in his trunk one day. Dom and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) take Johnny in and make him a member of the crew, enlisting him in a heist of a fleet of leopard-print Audis owned by a local drug lord.

-- “The Bourne Adolescence: A Musical”: In Jason Bourne’s early years, he was bookish and bullied -- until he found his true purpose, in song and surveillance. Includes the sure-fire hits, “As Long As You Stalk Me,” “Never Say CIA” and “One Less Lonely Spook.”

-- Tattoo biopic: “Hitchcock” director Sacha Gervasi is developing a movie about Hervé Villechaize, the French actor best known for playing Tattoo on the TV series “Fantasy Island,” who lead a colorful and ultimately tragic life. We think Biebs could really bring the pathos here. And we want to hear him shout, “The plane, boss! The plane!”

-- “You’ve Got Twitter”: It’s been 15 years since Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan fired up their modems and fell in love in “You’ve Got Mail.” Bieber and Amanda Bynes should do a remake set in the social media age, an emoticon-fueled romcom where he owns a Whole Foods-esque chain, she a competing juice-cleanse bar -- and the hashtags get rough.

-- “Boys Don’t Cry 2”: After the tragic murder of Hilary Swank’s Brandon, girlfriend Lana (Chloë Sevigny) moved out of Texas to New York, got a job in an art gallery in Greenwich Village and befriended a promising young artist of indeterminate gender. This is their story.

-- “Robin”: Forget Batman. He’s so dark and brooding. With Bieber as the Boy Wonder, Gotham finally gets swaggy. This superhero flies in drop-crotch pants and fights villains with his piercing falsetto. And did we mention Catwoman is something of a cougar?
