In what I think is one of the worst ideas ever concocted to cinema, reports are circulating that Justin Bieber wants to star in the remake of the 1996 thriller Fear, the film that put Mark Wahlberg on the map and also starred Reese Witherspoon and Alyssa Milano.
According to Movieweb, the teen singer is such a fan of the movie he's become quite interested in playing the role of a psychotic boyfriend who stalks his girlfriend and her family. Wahlberg and Bieber are in talks to work on a basketball movie together (what Like Mike 2?), but as for a remake of Fear, there's no official word that there is a remake in the works.
Personally I don't think they need to remake Fear. It's one of my favorite movies and doesn't need a remake. Mark did a great job in the film, since casting directors were smart to capitalize on his bad boy image in the 90's. I can't imagine Lesbieber having the range of someone who could play scary, since his entire career is banked on how sexless and innocent he comes across. I'm all for people stepping outside of the comfort zone to play different characters, but if his acting is still as bad as his two-episode stint on CSI, then I suggest you stick to what you're good at, because we all know there's no way you're going to re-enact the finger-popping rollercoaster scene in the newer version.
