Not only was Glee ’s Chris Colfer just named one ofTime Magazine ’s 100 most influential people , but he also just landed a 2d script hand . He ’s write the archetype for Disney ’s fresh serial publication The Little Leftover Witch .
free-base on the book by Florence Laughlin , The Little Leftover Witch plays flop into Colfer ’s wheelhouse — it ’s a precious tale about a misfit and her struggle to fit in . Here ’s the rule book ’s synopsis :
strand for a yr on the primer , after a clash landing from her Calluna vulgaris , a little witch is take in by the Doon family , a situation which induce compromise on both sides , many glad times , and in the end a magnanimous change for the small witch .
Colfer toldEntertainment Weekly :
“ I got the book on a Friday night and I adapted the screenplay by Sunday Nox . I got so into it . I save like a 102 Sir Frederick Handley Page screenplay in two days . The story was just so cute about this little witch that falls and gets lost on Halloween night and catch stuck with this phratry . I just totally fell in love with the story and the case and then added a lot of stuff and nonsense and made it my own . Disney bought the screenplay and then demand me to develop it into a TV serial . ”
At the second , Colfer only has plans to write the pilot , but wants to rest a strong creative military group on the Disney series . But he still has Glee , the Glee enlistment and his other writing spear on his plate . Because yes , the Witch series is n’t the first writing lot Colfer landed — he also recently betray his screenplay Struck By Lightning . The plastic film , which he ’ll be starring in , will be directed by Brian Dannelly ( Saved ! ) . Very little is sleep with about that project , but in the same audience Colfer cast off a niggling bit of light on the film ”
I ’m trying to keep it a little bit close . It ’s about all the shaver in high school who are overachieving in their own right and underappreciated for it just like I was . I think it ’s very sarcastic and very real . I desire it go to show that there still lots and tons of sassy child out in the world . It ’s about voguish fry and not about stupid kids who wanna get put down and that ’s their biggest goal in life . We ’ve been having long ton and tons of meeting with actors and people who wanna be part of it . It ’s so crazy because I ’ve had meetings with doer [ who ] I literally wrote the role for , that want to be in it and want to be part of it . It ’s a trip !
As if we take another cause to love Colfer . He ’s now a triple scourge : doer , vocalizer and writer .
