Morgan Spurlock is best known for his documentaries such as Super Size Me and The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, however now he’s heading for something a little more musical, as it’s been announced that he’ll direct a 3D film ‘showcasing’ the pop sensation, One Direction. A release date of August 30th, 2013 has already been set.
Here’s what Morgan Spurlock had to say about the project, “This is an incredible opportunity and an amazing moment in time for the band. To capture this journey and share it with audiences around the world will be an epic undertaking that I am proud to be a part of.”
Producer Simon Cowell also released a statement regarding this new movie, “I’m delighted we’re making this film and Morgan is the perfect person to give that access-all-areas, behind-the-scenes look into what it’s like to be One Direction today. What the band have achieved is incredible, they and their fans have made history around the world – this is for them.”
What hasn’t been revealed is exactly what the movie will be. While there will almost undoubtedly be a lot of music, whether it’ll mainly be a concert movie, something more about the boys themselves, or indeed a Beatles style semi-fictional effort isn’t clear. I’m sure we’ll find out soon.
One Direction – Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson – have becomes a ridiculously huge deal all around the world, with they album ‘Up All Night’ makinge US history, as it was the first time a UK group’s debut album entered the U.S. Billboard 200 chart at No. 1. The band has sold over 13 million records worldwide and has an enormously fervent following. If you want to know more about the film as it comes together, you follow @1D3Dmovie on Twitter.
