Mashable! - LIVE: Never Say Never Director Jon Chu Talks 3D Movies & Bie

Never Say Never, AKA the Justin Bieber movie, hits theaters on February 11. Today, February 10, starting at 4:00 p.m. ET, Mashable will be chatting with the film’s director, Jon Chu (@jonmchu) about what it’s like to make a 3D concert film, Bieber-mania and how social media has influenced the marketing efforts for the project.

Concert films have been a cinematic staple since the early 1960s. From The Beatles to the Jonas Brothers, it’s not uncommon to see the pop or rock sensations of the moment on the big screen. The fact that this film is in 3D is part of a growing trend, not just for fictional narratives and action films, but for concert documentaries.

We will be asking Chu about his past experiences with films like Step Up 3D and what influence that had on his latest project.

We’ll be using Tinychat for this conversation, which means Mashable readers can join in the fun. Users can log in, watch our conversation and ask questions in the chat.
