Unfortunately, sources are saying that a remake of "Back To The Future" staring Justin Bieber could very much be a possibility.
Justin Bieber is one of those celebrities that you either love or loathe. While most people old enough to drive seem to find the You Tube star turned pop singer Bieber to be annoying, his huge base of younger fans has made him a star.
Which might be why his newest rumored project might be taking on the Michael J. Fox role in a new reboot of the "Back To The Future" movie franchise.
Several British tabloids are reporting that Bieber is being considered for the starring role in the remake, assuming that "he is capable of acting at that level." When Fox took on the original role, he had a hit TV series ("Family Ties") and several hit movies under his belt.
Bieber is younger than Fox was when he starred in the first "Future" movie, and if took the role it would be written to reflect his younger age. "The most important part of the film is the time travel aspects," said one unnamed film executive. "In fact, some of the plot works better with a younger character."
The biggest problem with the idea might be that the three "Future" films are well-made and fondly remembered by audiences. Even if the remake does make it to the screen, odds are that it will face the same box-office fate as the recent remake of "The Karate Kid."
Idiots, although I didnt see the movie and doubt it was as good as the original, the Karate Kid remake cleaned up at the box offices.

Yeah... I thought the same thing... And I REALLY liked the remake of Karate Kid.
I don't have the hatred that most everyone else on the planet above the age of puberty has for Bieber. I think the kid's simply having fun, and he's not in the tabloids for snorting coke off Lohan's ass, so I don't see the problem.
That said, this makes me ill.
Some of these tv executives need to get slapped in the face! They need to start working on original ideas instead of trying to remake every movie out there.

Jeffrey Donovan is set to direct the upcoming "Burn Notice" movie starring Bruce Campbell. Shooting will begin in January on location in Bogota, Colombia. The two-hour movie will air on USA Network in Spring 2011.
The prequel, set in late 2005, begins after a faction of Colombian rebels makes trouble for the locally stationed military platoon, with Lieutenant Commander Sam Axe (Campbell) being sent down to advise. As the mission unfolds, Sam begins to uncover the dark secrets of the area, learning the truth about sacrifice, deception, and ultimately what’s worth fighting for.
"Burn Notice" creator Matt Nix will write and executive produce. Donovan and Campbell will also serve as executive producers on the Fox Television Studios project alongside Mikkel Bondesen ("Burn Notice").
