Aaron and Sarah will be Harris’ directorial debut, and already has two of Hollywood’s hottest teen actors attached to star: Emma Roberts (Lymelife) and Josh Hutcherson (Journey to the Center of the Earth).

Written by the duo behind short-lived TV series Pushing Daisies, Chad Gomez Creasey and Dara Resnik Creasey, Aaron and Sarah follows a geeky guy and a popular girl who become friends as freshmen in high school and see their relationship deepen through the four years, four proms and one funeral before graduation.

Aaron and Sarah will be produced by Sandy Stern for Single Cell Pictures along with Beau Bauman and Jesse Israel.

Emma Roberts will next be seen in Wes Craven’s Scream 4, while Josh Hutcherson can soon be seen in Lisa Cholodenko’s family-drama The Kids Are All Right.
