Neil Patrick Harris will be making his directorial debut with Aaron and Sarah. Who sound like lovely people.

Aaron's a geek and Sarah's a popular girl, who go through high school gradually falling in love. An indie romantic comedy, then, for Mr Harris, who has previously directed episodes of How I Met Your Mother and a production of Rent in LA over the summer.

Will he be awesome? Probably. After all, this is the man who can sing, dance, defeat invading super-bugs, and wear suits like no other. He also has a PhD in Horribleness. There's almost nothing Neil Patrick Harris can't do. Including appear in The Smurfs movie.

Written by Chad Gomez and Dara Resnik Creazey, Aaron and Sarah was once in David O Russell territory, but has fallen into the backyard of HIMYM's Barney. Mr Harris will be giving instructions to both Emma Roberts (Scream 4) and Josh Hutcherson (Journey to the Centre of the Earth).
