Katy Perry is currently in talks with Paramount to bring her live stage show to the big screen and in 3D. The studio, along with Imagine Entertainment, are still in the early stages of developing the project, which is largely dependent on the logistics of filming, staging and releasing the movie. A source close to the deal says Paramount hopes to follow the template of last year's Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.

Katy Perry is currently in talks with Paramount to bring her live stage show to the big screen and in 3D.

The studio, along with Imagine Entertainment, are still in the early stages of developing the project, which is largely dependent on the logistics of filming, staging and releasing the movie.

A source close to the deal says Paramount hopes to follow the template of last year's Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, which now holds the box office record for the most successful concert film in the United States with a gross of $73 million. The worldwide record for a concert film is held by Michael Jackson's This Is It, which grossed $261.2 million in 2009.

Deal making is still in the very early stages, and no director is officially on board as of yet.

Madonna has dropped subtle hints that she may be hanging up her acting career for good. The Material Girl, who has acted in movies since 1979 but has never really been able to establish footing in the acting world, responded to a question asked by MTV News about whether or not she would act again. "No [I don't want to act], but I do [act] every day of my life. I like directing better. If I write it and direct it, then it's my voice. If I'm the actor, I'm just a pawn."

When asked about how she would prefer to be remembered, Madonna responded: "I prefer the idea that people would say that I contributed to the culture, the zeitgeist from a female perspective as a musician, as a songwriter, as a filmmaker. I hope that I consider all of these things to be a part of my body of work and I'd rather not go, 'Oh, she'll be remembered as a great filmmaker, a great songwriter.'"
