Neil Patrick Harris Joins ‘A Million Ways to Die in the West’ by Seth McFarlane (with Release Date)

Although I still haven’t seen Seth McFarlane’s (Family Guy) live-action debut Ted, I’ve heard scores of hilarious reactions to it. McFarlane’s popularity has continued to soar even after Family Guy reached its peak audience. He was even big enough to host the Academy Awards!

Now, he’s shifting his focus towards a western comedy titled A Million Ways to Die in the West. He again helped write the project with Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild (who did Ted).

Not surprisingly, McFarlane will star in the movie, too. Previously joining him were Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Amanda Seyfried, and Sarah Silverman. You can add Neil Patrick Harris to the list. NPH, known for his legendary performance in How I Met Your Mother, is my personal favorite casting choice as of now.

Lastly, Universal Pictures set a release date for the comedy. It’ll land in theaters May 30, 2014.
