*Tichina Arnold will head to high school for her next role.

The veteran TV star will play a high school principal in the big screen film “Runt,” which is set to begin filming this month in Los Angeles, according to Deadline.

Described as a teenage dramatic thriller, the story follows high-school teenagers – artistic-loner Cal (Cameron Boyce) and lone-wolf, principled Cecily (Nicole Elizabeth Berger). Cal lusts after “hot girl” Gabriella (Brianna Hildebrand), while he is being bullied by her boyfriend, Vic (Aramis Knight), and his group of goons and jocks. Coach Wilkes (Jason Patric), the Principal (Arnold) and Spanish teacher Talley (Mitch Silpa) – the adult figures at the high school – repeatedly fail the kids that they should be helping. With the insights of Cecily, Cal finds himself making pivotal life choices that force him to choose between what’s right and what he’s willing to stand up to and fight for.

The film was written by Coakley, Armand Constantine and Christian van Gregg (deceased). Carl Rumbaugh (A Raisin in the Sun) and Gregory Thomas (Tragedy Girls) are producing the Wagging Tails Productions, Inc project.
