Popping culture: Chris Colfer’s latest project

Chris Colfer, of Glee fame, hinted a while back that he was working on a film script. That script, and now the film itself, has been completed, and Struck By Lightning is the result.

Lightning is the story of a student who blackmails his entire school into helping him work on a literary magazine, all in the name of helping him get into a better school. Based on some of the zingers in the trailer, I think Colfer may have something really good to show for his efforts.

Journalist, writer, blogger, producer.
