Justin Bieber May Film Movie With Ashton Kutcher

By Moviefone Editors Posted Mar 31st 2011 03:47PM

After a major documentary success with 'Never Say Never 3D' and a two-part cameo on 'CSI,' Justin Bieber might be ready for an old-fashioned Hollywood role. According to the LA Times, Bieber and Kutcher are expected to collaborate for the non-musical movie 'What Would Kenny Do?' about a guy who travels in time to guide his awkward 17-year-old self through high school.

Sounds kind of like '17 Again' meets 'Hitch' meets elements of 'Back to the Future,' but will it have the same appeal for Bieber fans that 'Never Say Never' had if it's only going to showcase his acting rather than his singing and slow-motion hair-swishing?

'Never Say Never 3D' is currently the highest-grossing concert film of all time, by the way, and domestically took in about the same as Kutcher's latest, 'No Strings Attached.' Also, due to Bieber's busy schedule, 'Kenny' won't go before cameras for another year. Will science have found a cure for Bieber Fever by then?

The script for the movie, which was originally raunchy and involved a hologram of the kid's older self rather than straight time travel, was conceived by Chris Baldi and made the 2008 Black List of best un-produced screenplays. Since then it has been reworked by '(500) Days of Summer' (and 'The Pink Panther 2') scribes Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, and is now set up at Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment (Might we see Jaden as Bieber's high school pal?) with Kutcher's Katalyst Entertainment also producing. Yet another rewrite is expected, and a director is being sought.

Anyone think Bieber will be a good fit as a thespian? Or are you all over him and now waiting for the news of Rebecca Black's acting debut?

I don't know that science will have found a cure for Bieber Fever by then, but his fans reaching puberty will probably knock the sickness right out of them.

Maybe Hilary Swank should play the grown-up Bieber instead of Kutcher?

By Julia Goolia

What makes people think this kid can act? (Bieber, not Kutcher...though the same could be said for both).

By Heyes

Someone should tell Ashton not to film with Bieber... its against the law to have sex with underage girls

By loreli48

I have absolutely had my fill of both of them. Can't stand either one. Justin Bieber. God will he go away already. And Ashton Kutcher. Please!!!! Talentless. Gotten away with what his does because he looks good. Have you ever heard him in an interview. Looks are all he has going for him.

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT! I will not be watching anything with either of those 2 "no talent bores".

I agree Hillary Swank Would be ideal as an adult Bieber, But poor Ashton, he needs a hit desperatly, or he will be relagated to the Demi Moore syndrone.

Looks like Ashton needs to ride on a young star's coat tails to restart his career and make some money. Of course the film will do well. Most of the viewers will be for Justin, not Ashton.

Bieber needs to hurry because he's fading fast. Make all the bucks he can in the next year or so because he'll be a goner soon.
