3D film on popular boy band
Sony Pictures has announced that it’s making a 3D film showcasing London-based global music sensation One Direction. Acclaimed documentary film-maker Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) will direct the film, which TriStar Pictures will release on August 30, 2013 (Labor Day weekend).
“This is an incredible opportunity and an amazing moment in time for the band,” said director-producer Spurlock. He added, “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.”
Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson of One Direction were discovered by Simon Cowell on the U.K.’s The X Factor in 2010. The band quickly gained a following to become one of the competition’s all-time most popular acts, finishing in the final three and garnering a loyal fanbase along the way. In March 2012, One Direction’s debut album Up All Night made U.S. history, as it was the first time a U.K. group’s debut album entered the U.S. Billboard 200 chart at No. 1. The band has sold over 13 million records worldwide and they have recently released their sophomore album Take Me Home.
Simon Cowell said, “I’m delighted that 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”
