The trailer for Chris’s upcoming movie has been released! I’m so excited, the trailer alone is hilarious!

Chris Colfer is turning into a mini movie mogul.

The Glee star tells me that his film debut, Struck by Lightning, which he wrote and is starring in, will probably hit theaters in the fall.

But even before then, cameras will begin rolling on his second flick…

He’s being tight-lipped on details, but he did reveal he wrote the script for this one, too. “I actually had to do research on this one,” Colfer told me at the Golden Globes. “I couldn’t just pull it out of my ass. I had to do a lot of research.”

He said he already has a director and producers “attached.” Unlike his starring role in Struck by Lightning, he’ll appear in the new movie as a “supporting character.”

“I’m a very vain writer,” he cracked. “I write for myself.”

Shooting is expected to begin this summer.

Stuck by Lightning revolves around a high schooler who gets hit by lightning after blackmailing classmates to contribute to his literary magazine. The dramedy costars Christina Hendricks, Sarah Hyland, Dermot Mulroney and Allison Janney.

And speaking of Janney, she tells me she’s itching to return to television. “I’m a worker bee. I like to work,” Janney, who won four Emmys for her work on The West Wing, told me at the Critics’ Choice Awards.”Right now, there are three or four things circling my orbit.”

Of her other upcoming projects, Hyland sounds most jazzed about Struck by Lightning, the one in which she plays a bitchy cheerleader. Chris Colfer of Glee wrote and co-stars in the comedy/ drama, which will be released next year.

“That was so much fun,” she says. “The script was genius, and Chris is one of the most humble, amazing people I’ve ever met in my life. Matt is actually in that, too. That was one that we both just happened to audition for and that we both booked.

“It was very different from Modern Family because on the show everyone is either 40 or 14, and I’m smack-dab in the middle at almost 21. So it was a lot of fun in a different way, just because everyone was my age. I loved hanging out with everyone and just talking between takes.”

Glee star Chris Colfer has hailed Christina Hendricks as a “full on Disney princess”.

The 21-year-old actor has written and stars in his own coming-of-age comedy movie Struck By Lightning, co-starring the Mad Men beauty as his stepmother and West Wing’s Allison Janney as his mum.

Chris said: “I have no words to describe them. They were both so amazing.

“Allison has this one scene in the movie, I’ve seen it like 48 times and there’s still this one scene that Allison does that makes me cry like an infant every single time I see it.

“And Christina is literally just a living Disney princess. It’s great to be around her and her energy on set.”

Chris is nervous about Struck By Lightning being released on the big screen and is hoping it will be embraced by audiences

He revealed: “I just saw the final cut of it and I’m really, really excited.

I think it’s good. The fact that I wrote it and I’m in so much and I can stand it I think says a lot because usually I can’t stand watching myself.

“I am so close to it I don’t even know if it’s really good or if its bad, but we’ll see. I’m sure people will let me know.”
