A Bieber Biopic? Paul Rudd: Bar Mitzvah DJ? “Titanic II?” And much more…

UPCOMING FILM PROJECTS.

Bieber-mania! Paramount Pictures has made a deal to turn Justin Bieber’s life story into a 3D feature biopic. Davis Guggenheim, the Oscar-winning director of “An Inconvenient Truth,” is negotiating to direct, and though the film doesn’t have a title, Bieber is set to play himself in the film. The film will come out February 11, 2011 on Valentine’s Day weekend (for all you ladies out there).

Jason Reitman and Charlize Theron are in talks to direct and star in, respectively, YOUNG ADULT, from a script by Reitman’s “Juno” scribe Diablo Cody. The story is a dark comedy that follows a thirtysomething, divorced, young-adult fiction writer (Theron) in Minneapolis who returns to her hometown to chase the ex-boyfriend, who’s now married with a kid, that got away, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Yes! The long-in-gestation ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT MOVIE now has half a script, and is very likely to get made, according to the show’s creator Mitch Hurwitz.

CASTING NEWS.

Life is good for Old Spice man Isaiah Mustafa these days. Not only is he causing sales in the company’s bodywash products to soar courtesy of an ingenious ad campaign, but the muscle-bound ladies man ahs been cast in the upcoming Jennifer Aniston/Jason Bateman comedy film HORRIBLE BOSSES, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Sony has picked up MOMMY & ME, the comedy package featuring Meryl Streep and Tina Fey as a mother-and-daughter duo to be directed by Streep’s “The Devil Wears Prada” co-star Stanley Tucci, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Woody Allen’s currently filming MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, and probably regrets casting French first lady Carla Bruni in a cameo. Why, might you ask? She appears in one scene – where she walks into a grocery store and walks out with a baguette – and it took Sarkozy’s stunning wife 35 TAKES to nail it.

INDUSTRY SHAKEUP.

Walt Disney Co. finally brokered it’s sale of the Weinstein-created independent film company Miramax Films for $660 million to an investment group led by real estate mogul Ron Tutor, according to Variety.

MUST READS.

Frank Bruni wrote an absolutely brilliant profile of celebrated indie actress and three-time Oscar nominee Laura Linney in the most recent issue of The New York Times Magazine. Read it for yourself.

And on the funnier side, you should read Dan Fierman’s Q&A interview with legendary funnyman Bill Murray, where he addresses “Ghostbusters 3,” Barack Obama, “Garfield” and his infamous rumored gags on unsuspecting Union Square bystanders.

REMAKES.

Len Wiseman, the filmmaker behind the “Underworld” flicks and that silly fourth “Die Hard” movie where John McClane is dead sober and flies a car into a helicopter, will apparently direct a remake of the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi cult classic TOTAL RECALL, according to Heat Vision. Too soon in my book.

GOING VIRAL.

Before Paul Rudd starred in “Clueless,” “Knocked Up,” “I Love You, Man,” and the recent “Dinner For Schmucks,” he had a different job: Bar Mitzvah DJ. Check out this incredibly clip of Rudd DJing a Bar Mitzvah in 1992.

“Titanic II?” YES. Please stop whatever you’re doing and watch the unintentionally hilarious trailer for the straight-to-video sequel to the James Cameron classic. The trailer actually contains the line, “It looks like history is repeating itself.” Must-see TV.

Watch the equally hilarious (fake) trailer for a movie version of the famous computer game we all played as kids, “Oregon Trail.”

Thespian Kevin Kline recently stopped by Stephen Colbert’s “The Colbert Report” while doing the promotional rounds for his latest film, “The Extra Man.” There, Kline and Colbert engaged in a battle for the ages. Prepare yourself for… Enunciation throwdown!

The greatest talk show of our time returns. Check out Steve Carell’s appearance on “Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis.”

A new entry in the lexicon of truly awful trailers: “Yogi Bear,” a 3D adaptation featuring Anna Faris (as the real person), Dan Aykroyd voicing Yogi and Justin Timberlake doing Boo-Boo.

SCANDALOUS.

“Charlie St. Cloud” and “High School Musical” star Zac Efron recently attended Flashdancers strip club in New York City, where the boyish actor reportedly spent $2,000 on vodka and strippers…

Chris Tucker apparently hires the same accountants as Wesley Snipes. Tucker, who hasn’t acted since 2007’s “Rush Hour 3,” for which he reportedly raked in $25 million, owes $11 million in federal taxes to the IRS, according to TMZ.

Until next week!
