2012 Sundance Predictions: Brian Dannelly’s Struck by Lightning

After blasting onto the indie scene with Saved! at the Sundance Film Festival’s 2004 edition, helmer Brian Dannelly gravitated towards television and perhaps it make sense that his sophomore pic works from Glee’s Chris Colfer’s screenplay, and sees Christina Hendricks (Mad Men), Sarah Hyland (Modern Family) with Colfer toplining (see set pic above). I’d peg Struck by Lightning as a possible selection in the Premieres category and worth noting: cinematographer Bobby Bukowski.

#63. Struck by Lightning – Brian Dannelly

After blasting onto the indie scene with Saved! at the Sundance Film Festival’s 2004 edition, helmer Brian Dannelly gravitated towards television and perhaps it make sense that his sophomore pic works from Glee’s Chris Colfer’s screenplay, and sees Christina Hendricks (Mad Men), Sarah Hyland (Modern Family) with Colfer toplining (see set pic above). I’d peg Struck by Lightning as a possible selection in the Premieres category and worth noting: cinematographer Bobby Bukowski.

Gist: This opens when Colfer’s character is struck and killed by lightning and then, in flashback, tells the story of how he blackmailed other high school students to contribute to a literary magazine.

Producers: Rob Aguire, Mia Chang and David Permut (Youth in Revolt)
