NEW YORK (AP) - A "fan cut" of the documentary "Justin
Bieber: Never Say Never" will be released Friday.


Paramount announced Monday that director Jon M. Chu has
re-edited the Bieber concert film based on fan suggestions.

The studio says the new 115-minute cut includes 40 minutes of new
footage.


Chu followed Bieber for 10 days on a recent concert tour.

He said he had an "embarrassment of riches" in leftover footage and
sought out suggestions from Bieber fans on Twitter and Facebook.
 

"Never Say Never" has earned $51.4 million at the domestic box
office since being release Feb. 11.

The new edit allows Paramount to further capitalize on the fanatical fan base of the 16-year-old
pop star.


The revamped film will play in 3-D theaters for one week.
