Jonas Brothers are returning to the 3-D arena, this time headlining a digital feature for Disney that will include footage from their upcoming Burning Up concert tour.
The three siblings, who are signed to Hollywood Records and have appeared on several Disney Channel programs, appeared in this year's "Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour." That Disney digital 3-D feature opened at No. 1 at the domestic boxoffice in February and went on to gross $65 million.
Bruce Hendricks, who helmed the "Hannah Montana" film, will direct the Jonas Brothers movie, with Art Repola reprising his role as producer. Also producing are Phil McIntyre, Kevin Jonas Sr., Johnny Wright and Alan Sacks.
The Burning Up tour kicks off July 4 in Toronto, with special guest Demi Lovato. The film will be shot in 3-D and include footage from their live shows as well as behind-the-scenes documentary material.
There are no fewer than 10 digital 3-D titles slated for a 2009 release, including six from Disney. Slightly more than 1,000 3-D ready digital screens are currently installed in North America.
Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas, repped by CAA, star in the upcoming Disney Channel original movie "Camp Rock" and in the Disney Channel series "J.O.N.A.S!" debuting in the fall. Their self-titled debut album, released in August, has gone platinum.
