Losers actor Columbus Short, who’s seen a one of the hottest up and comers in Hollywood, has scored himself a new film role in the indie thriller The Girl Is in Trouble, from writer-director Julius Onah. According to THR, the film is about a New York bartender who becomes entangled in a murder mystery involving a desperate woman, a missing drug dealer and the scion of a powerful investment firm.
Wilmer Valderrama and House star Jesse Spencer will also star. It’s actually quite surprising that despite having a hit show for several years, none of the stars of House has really managed to have any sort of film career at all, so hopefully this will be the start of one for Spencer.
Spike Lee is executive producing the film, which starts shooting next week.
