He has to fill up time before Act 4 of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog in some way.

Neil Patrick Harris, known for his roles in How I Met Your Mother & Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, forces himself to get busy with the addition of two films onto his resume. The first of them is The Best and the Brightest, centering on a fresh-faced young couple, Samantha and Jeff, who have only recently moved into town. The couple then has a dawning realization of the lengths they must go to in order to get their five-year-old daughter into school. Written by Josh Shelov & Michael Jaeger and directed by Josh Shelov, this feature comes out in 2010.

The second one on the list is Beastly, a modern-day take on the “Beauty and the Beast” tale where a New York teen is transformed into a hideous monster in order to find true love. Neil Patrick Harris plays a blind tutor who becomes good friends with the monster boy played by Alex Pettyfer. Vanessa Hudgens and Mary-Kate Olsen are among those in the cast at the moment. Written and directed by Daniel Barnz, this film is an adaptation of a novel of the same name by Alex Flinn. Beastly will be released on July 30, 2010.
