Actor/comedian Craig Robinson and actress Alexandra Shipp are set to star in the horror comedy “Tragedy Girls” which is getting ready to start shooting sometime this year.




The film deals with “two death-obsessed teenage girls who use their online show about real-life tragedies to send their small Midwestern town into a frenzy and cement their legacy as modern horror legends”.

Brianna Hildebrand (“Deadpool”) co-stars with Shipp as the 2 girls.
