    "Inn" marks the first pilot directing gig for Bateman, who has directed episodes of comedy series, including the Emmy-winning "Development." According to imdb.com, he became the Directors Guild of America's youngest-ever director when he shot three episodes of "Valerie" (1986) at age 18.

    In front of the camera, he was recently seen in "Juno," playing the would-be adoptive dad.
