Hot Trailer: Chris Colfer Is "Struck By Lightning"

Tired of seeing Chris Colfer always take the high road on Glee? Ready to see him have his Mean Girls moment? The Struck By Lightning is for you. Likely paralleling Colfer's own desire to leave small town high school life that he's spoken about in interviews since we met him, here he's determined to get into journalism school at Northwestern, but he's just not wowing people with his school newspaper. What's a desperate boy at the bottom of the social ladder to do? Create a literary magazine and blackmail the entire school into writing for it, including the popular kids.

Written and starring Colfer, Struck By Lightning sports an all-star cast including Christina Hendricks, Dermot Mulroney, Sarah Hyland, Allison Janney, and Robbie Amell's biceps. The feel of the movie harkens back to some classic teen films, and it's shot in an overexposed style that conveys the outlook of the character.

But will Gleeks flock to the theater later this year to support Colfer? Are we looking at the beginning of his unstoppable career? Hopefully the answer is yes.
