THIS piece over at Vulture says The Powers That Be are looking into issuing a special "Director's Cut" of JUSTIN BIEBER: NEVER SAY NEVER, which opened in theaters last weekend, while the original iteration of the film is still on screens.
Many logistical shenanigans are required to make this happen (the Director's Cut isn't ready yet, the revised picture would have to be submitted for an MPAA rating, how much mileage will the first film provide the studio while all of this is happening?, etc.) - so there's a chance the new iteration of the movie might be held for impending DVD/Blu-Ray releases.
Director Jon Chu, who we recently learned was on a shortlist of candidates to helm the upcoming G.I. JOE sequel, evidently has a lot of material to choose from...
The new version — Bieberfilm 2.0, if you will — would include different live performances than the original movie, new scenes of Bieber shot at the premiere of Never Say Never, and various early showings of the movie that Bieber secretly attended last Wednesday. There may even be scenes shot as recently as Grammy night.
JUMP to Vulture's piece to read more, including their take on how/why this notion is a reasonably affordable prospect.
Quint and Capone had similar reactions after seeing NEVER SAY NEVER...
