Drew Barrymore gave herself a lesson in modern teen idols as the former child star recently directed a music video starring Chloe Moretz, Miranda Cosgrove, Donald Glover and Tyler Posey of ‘Teen Wolf.’

Best Coast’s song ‘Our Deal’ got the video treatment from Barrymore, who combined elements of ‘Romeo & Juliet’ and ‘West Side Story’ for the video, produced with MTV and Mean’s Supervideo.

Moretz, of ‘Kick-Ass’ and ‘Let Me In’ fame, plays a pompadoured member of the gang Night Creepers who falls for Posey, a member of the Day Trippers. The star-crossed lovers meet for twilight bonding, but soon confront their fate as born enemies (watch the video below).

Not to spoil anything, but those who stayed awake in freshman English class know it doesn’t end well for Romeo and Juliet. Barrymore, however, pulls off a solid effort with some of the teen set’s biggest names.

The video serves as an appetizer for Barrymore’s next directing gig: helming the feature ‘How to Be Single,’ a decade’s worth of stories about solo New Yorkers. Her first time behind the camera was in 2009, for the roller-derby flick ‘Whip It!’
