One Direction is shooting a 3D concert movie documentary expected for release on August 2013. The One Direction 3D concert movie will be directed Morgan Spurlock and the boys believe he is the best man to make the film up close and personal.

"Morgan works well because like you said, he did a lot of documentary movies," Niall Horan said in an interview with MTV news on Monday. "That's more so what we want our movie to be. It's going to be a concert movie, but with a documentary side than concert side so we wanted to give it like get our personalities across because the fans know us, but we want them to know us deeper."

"I think he's come up with a lot of interesting concepts and stuff for films," Liam Payne added. "So it's just going to be really exciting to work with him and see what he comes out of the bag with for us."

Although the film is set for a summer release date, One Direction has already been filming moments that they believe are worthy of the film.

"Well we've been kind of [filming], we've always had a camera with us," Niall shared. "Like when we were touring America in the summer, we had like a camera with us every day and we were just kind of documenting stuff cause if it ever did come to a movie, then we'd have stuff ready for it. So we've already kind of started and the cameras are already coming out on the road with us a bit more now. Obviously doing [Madison Square Garden] next week and then the tour all year next year, hopefully it'll turn out as well as we want it too," he continued.

"And Niall's got a camera, so he's going to film some of the film," Louis Tomlinson said in the interview with MTV news.
