Popstar is an American film that features teen singer Aaron Carter in his only lead role in a feature film. The direct-to-video film was directed by Richard Gabai and written by Timothy Barton; the film was released on November 8, 2005. The premiere was held in The Woodlands, Texas. It was filmed in Calabasas, California, at A.C. Stelle Middle School and the Commons.
Jane Brighton (Alana Austin) is a high school math whiz obsessed with J.D. McQueen, a teen music sensation whose parents have sent him back to public high school to improve his declining grades. J.D. risks missing a critical summer tour that could ruin his musical career. To get help with math, he builds a relationship with Jane.
Popstar borrows heavily from Carter's real life. Both Carter and J.D. were born on December 7, and both had been taken out of public schools because of their careers. J.D. and Carter both have divorced parents. Both get nervous before concerts. J.D. sings "Saturday Night", a song that Carter was in fact promoting in his summer 2005 tour before the film was released. Fans will recognize many of Carter's publicity/magazine photos that decorate Brighton's bedroom.
