One Direction movie to be directed by Morgan Spurlock



Members of the British boy band One Direction are making the most of their moment. The band brought its new ballad, the all-warm-and-gooey "Little Things," to the set of NBC's "Today" show Tuesday morning and then the guys revealed that they're taking their act to the big screen.

"We are gonna do our first-ever movie," said Niall Horan, adding that it's "going to be in 3-D."

The film is scheduled to be in theaters Aug. 30, 2013, and will follow 3-D films from the likes of the Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry.

Still untitled, the film is to be directed by Morgan Spurlock, who is best known for documentaries such as "Super Size Me" and "Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?"

In a news release, Spurlock praised the band without commenting on the new direction of his career.

"This is an incredible opportunity and an amazing moment in time for the band," he said.

The film is to be released by TriStar and produced by Simon Cowell, who had a hand in assembling the band on the British edition of his show "The X-Factor."

"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," Cowell said in a statement.

WHAT?!?!?!?!? ARE YOU SERIOUS

yes. groundbreaking information.

Well I'll be. That is the most shocking goddamned thing I've ever heard.

And who knew that only eating fried food for a month would be bad for you. Thank you, documentary man, thank you.

i mean, we all knew it, but he was the first one to scientifically document it. but that was still his point.

and like the poster below said, now everyone's got the calories up on their menus and additional nutrition information available. so you can't sue a company(like MCd) for making you fat, because if when you get fat from eating their food it's your own fault for not reading the calories/nutritional information. it's no longer "hidden information"

Sadly, when you have stupid mofos who want to sue fast food chains for making...fast food or children who legitimately don't know what celery or broccoli or lettuce looks like, these things need to be put in the for front.

It's a sad state of affairs because tons of parents feed their kids this stuff and think it's A-OK. They have their three meals a day but too bad it's basically just shit.

lol of course if you shove 3 large meals down your throat that you aren't hungry for it will make you fat. you can get fat doing that off any food. it doesn't take a documentary to know that eating FF three times a day every day is bad for you. any idiot could have came to that conclusion, people eat it because they don't care and it tastes good.

That wasn't the only point of the documentary but okay.

well yeah, it's something everyone should know, but he was the first person to scientifically document it.

that was the point of the movie. he was backing up all of the lawsuits against mcdonalds and all the other ff chains where people were suing them because they got fat/unhealthy from eating their food. he scientifically proved that it does make you fat. and now all of the chains have healthy options and caloric and nutritional information out and in sight, so they no longer have to pay millions to fat people that ate too much of their food.

Too bad there are (were?) people going around suing fast food chains for making them fat. Sadly those people really do exist and need this documentary.

lol that eating unhealthy food day after day is really bad for you. McD also never even had nutrition facts at the time in their restaurants and its important to take care of yourself. It sounds like nothing new but the evidence in the film was pretty legit. But I haven't seen it in a few years so I need to re-watch.
