Direction will officially begin shooting their previously announced
behind-the-scenes 3D film next weekend. The film, which will be released by
TriStar Pictures on Aug. 30, 2013, is being directed by Morgan Spurlock
("Super Size Me"), who confirmed at CES last week that production
would begin in Tokyo over the weekend. The British boy band is set to perform
two shows in Tokyo on Jan. 18 and 19 before bringing their world tour to the
U.K., U.S. and Canada.

Direction are currently rehearsing for the extended tour in London. Band member
Niall Horan wrote on Twitter last week, "Rehearsals goin really well for
tour! Settin down vocals and harmonies at the moment!" The musicians have
refused to reveal which songs they're currently practicing, though.
"Unbelievable rehearsal with @JohnShoneKeys @JoshDevineDrums @SandyBeales
and @GuitarManDan today!" Horan added over the weekend. "Sounding big…
can't tell ya which ones."
Spurlock
is producing the yet-untitled film along with Ben Winston, Adam Milano and
Simon Cowell, who discovered the band on "X Factor" U.K. in 2010. The
film will blend concert footage and the musicians' behind the scenes tour life,
presumably showcasing music from both the group's debut, "Up All Night,"
and their recent effort, "Take Me Home."
Cowell
explained in a statement back in November, "I'm delighted we're making
this film and 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. What the
band have achieved is incredible, they and their fans have made history around the
world -- this is for them."

Direction are also slated to perform at the BRIT Awards in London next month
alongside Muse and Emeli Sande. The group is nominated in several categories,
including Global Success.
