Justin Bieber's upcoming documentary/concert film "Never Say Never" is likely to be a feel-good affair, charting the Biebs' rise from Canadian obscurity to worldwide phenomenon. Based on the trailer, we can expect testimonials from stars of the music biz (Snoop Dogg, Usher), heartwarming accounts of Justin's early years and some 3D footage of the little dynamo in concert.
But what if it was something completely different? What if it were a much darker affair, in the vein of "Walk The Line" or "8 Mile"? Well, that rather amusing idea is exactly the theme behind the below parody video.
The parody video, produced by UCB, imagines Justin Bieber as a pop-song-singing version of Eminem's "Rabbit" character from "8 Mile." The central joke being that while Justin has (in real life) faced some adversity, he has had a relatively charmed rise to the top. It's all in good fun, though.
Check out Upright Citizen Brigade's Justin Bieber Gritty Movie Trailer below. (It's been out for a while, but we just rediscovered it and can't stop watching it in the same way we can't stop watching Drunk History or Natalie Portman laughing.) Bieber's actual movie, "Never Say Never," comes out Feb. 11.
