Justin Bieber[HMG Celebrity News] – For those who feel there is no end to the vast, seething cauldron of talent that is Justin Bieber we may have found another thing for you to admire — He’s going to be a movie star and travel through time.

The 16-year old singer is now in talks to take a lead role in a remake of the offbeat classic ‘Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.’ But producers are having a hard time finding a co-star who’s even close to Bieb’s league.

“Justin’s role in this project is a given, but the movie’s held up by finding the right kid to play Bill,” a source told the Spy. “The producers are torn between casting an unknown and finding anther teen actor who can share top billing.”

For those too young to have witnessed this iconic movie when it debuted in February of 1989, the story concerns two high-school dorks and wannabe rock-gods who are so bad at learning, they may get expelled. But a mysterious stranger [George Carlin] then appears in a time-traveling phone booth to help the pair graduate, and thus save the Earth.

The original [what we'll now call 'the good one'] made Keanu Reeves an international name. And Justin will take over his part in the new version — if it ever gets made.  ‘Bill & Ted’ actor Alex Winter has recently said a third film is in the works.

The list of potential co-stars still isn’t known and there’s no hint on who Justin prefers, so let’s hear your views: Do you like the idea of Justin making a movie — and who do you think should be Bill?…
