Gossip Teen

Pairing up for the big screen, Emma Roberts and Josh Hutcherson are starring in Aaron and Sarah – a romantic indie comedy directed by Neil Patrick Harris. The movie centers around popular teen Sarah (Roberts) and her BFF (BFF was the original title) a nerdy kinda of guy Aaron (Hutcherson) and how they navigate through four years of high school drama and still remain friends.

This will be the How I Met Your Mother star’s first feature film as director but not the only time he has helmed a production. Harris took the reigns of the Hollywood Bowl production of the musical RENT this summer with Vanessa Hudgens.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon theatrical release of November 20th is right around the corner but for actor Jackson Rathbone, it doesn’t mean he will be slowing down. Not only is he gearing up for the crazy promotional schedule of New Moon, he is finishing work on the third film of the franchise Eclipse, and he is starting work on the indie flick Girlfriend, which he will also produce. All that back and forth between characters could be a problem for some actors, but not Rathbone.

“The process of going through the works; getting makeup, getting hair and all that, you have enough time to kind of contemplate your character. And I always put a lot of work into the way my characters move and the way they speak and the way they relate to others around them. It’s just the simple things. I like the subtle nuances that really kind of establish a character and how a character grows throughout a story.”

He also finished filming The Last Airbender with Dev Patel and directed by M Night Shymalan and he is about to embark on a tour with his band 100 Monkeys. While he can’t officially confirm it yet, Breaking Dawn should start filming in February or March so Jackson still has quite a bit of work on his plate for a long while yet.
