The 'Baby' hitmaker - who last year released documentary film 'Justin Bieber: Never Say Never', which chronicled his ascent to pop stardom - revealed his team are "working on a script" as he plans to return to the big screen next summer when he's finished his Christmas record 'Under the Mistletoe' and second studio album.

He told MTV News: "What's happening is: Get off this tour, and then my [holiday] album's coming out, so I have to go back out and promote that album ... and then after that ... it's almost time for my next album, so then everything starts over again.

"Hopefully next summer I can start on a movie or something."

It will not be the first time the 17-year-old pop star has tried his hand at acting after he starred on crime drama TV series 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation' last year - and Justin has since admitted he's caught the acting bug.

Earlier this year, he said: "I definitely want to do more acting, and further my career in that area, that's something I would love to do."
