With the opening of his 3-D flick "Never Say Never" about a week away, now comes news that Justin Bieber may have found his next big-screen project. It seems that "New Year's Eve" director Garry Marshall is hankering to get Bieber on-board for a role in the star-filled flick.
But according to E! News, the chances of it happening seem dimmer as production draws closer. "They tried, but it doesn't look like they're going to be able to make it work because of scheduling," a source says of the casting rumor.
Last year, Marshall spoke to MTV News about trying to line up the superstar for a cameo in the film, revealing that he had to brush up on his Bieber knowledge.
"Already, they're mentioning Justin Bieber," said Marshall, who gave Taylor Swift a role in last year's "Valentine's Day." "I have no idea who that is, but I'm sure we'll meet. Perhaps I'd better see who he is, so when he arrives on set, possibly [we can talk]. So we'll see."
Of course even if Marshall's Bieber fever gets extinguished, there are plenty of other big names on-board for the ensemble film, including Katherine Heigl (who just replaced Halle Berry), Jessica Biel, Jon Bon Jovi, Abigail Breslin, Robert De Niro, Zac Efron, Ashton Kutcher, Seth Meyers, Lea Michele, Sarah Jessica Parker, Michelle Pfeiffer, Til Schweiger, Sienna Miller, Hilary Swank, Sofia Vergara, Ryan Seacrest and Ice Cube.
"I'm starting a movie in a couple of weeks called 'New Year's Eve,' with Garry Marshall. It's got a great cast," Efron told MTV News recently. "My scenes are with Michelle Pfeiffer. Yeah, not a bad co-star."
