The sequel to Never Say Never continues to focus on Bieber’s rise to international fame as he embarks on his Believe Tour. The film features interviews by his mother Pattie Mallette, his mentor Usher Raymond IV, his manager Scooter Braun as well as others.
Rumors of a sequel to Never Say Never began surfacing the media around May 2012, when Bieber himself hinted a possible sequel for some time. It wasn’t until January 2013 when the project was confirmed by Bieber himself tweeting about it. Concert footage was filmed during Justin’s Believe Tour on January 26–27, 2013 at Miami’s American Airlines Arena. Two months later, in March 2013, a $15 million budget was appointed for the production of the sequel.
On October 11, 2013, it was confirmed that Jon M. Chu reprised his role as director for the biopic and will be screened at the Toronto International Film Festival later in the month. Meanwhile, Justin Bieber released a teaser trailer on his kidrauhl YouTube channel for the sequel to Never Say Never with the tagline “There’s more to his story” and the hashtag “BelieveMovie” confirming the sequel title as “Believe”, to be released on Christmas day in 3D. The official trailer was released on Yahoo! Movies on November 15, 2013.
