Chris Colfer (Kurt) may be leaving Glee at the end of Season 3, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a bright future. Just check out the cast that will star in his screenwriting debut, Struck By Lightning.

Christina Hendricks, Dermot Mulroney, and Modern Family's Sarah Hyland will co-star opposite Chris and Allison Janney in the teen coming-of-age film, which will be told in flashback after Chris’s character... well, it’s a spoiler alert, but let’s just say the title is pretty literal.

Production is under way now; look for Lightning in theaters next year.
