Nintendo rejects request from Justin Bieber movie camp

Did you know that Justin Bieber has a movie/documentary coming out, called Justin Bieber: Never Say Never? Nintendo knows about it now, as the director has reached out to the Big N in order to try and smooth over a deal. The director wanted to use 15 seconds of the Super Mario Bros. theme in the movie, but Nintendo has said that they’re not making that deal. This lead the director to send out this Tweet.

“aw C’mon Nintendo! Y won’t u let us use the Mario theme for 15 secs in the @Justinbieber movie…talk about free advertising passed up. Oops.”

I think it makes sense for Nintendo to keep the theme out of the movie. Bieber wasn’t even alive with Super Mario Bros. came out!
