Nick Cannon to direct romantic film

Los Angeles: "America's Got Talent" host Nick Cannon will direct romantic comedy "Three Little Words," with Mike Karz and William Bindley producing the project through their Gulfstream Pictures banner.

The Exchange, a portal for Britain's financial intermediaries, acquired international rights for the project and will launch sales next week in Berlin, reports variety.com.

"Three Little Words" is the story of a group of people dealing with various romantic relationships as they try to summon the courage to say those three simple words: "I love you". Allison Burnett has written the film's script.

The film is in pre-production and has an American distribution deal in place, but it will be announced later.
