2007 has been a great year for Idris Elba and Columbus Short. Since he left his role as Stringer Bell from HBO's critically acclaimed original series 'The Wire', Elba has been getting calls and scripts that landed him lead roles in 'The Gospel' for Rob Hardy and the HBO film 'Sometimes in April'. This year alone, Elba has been seen in no less than five films with roles in 'The Reaping', '28 Weeks Later', "Tyler Perry's Daddy Little Girls', 'American Gangster', and his most current film, 'This Christmas'. While Columbus Short made a splash earlier this year as the outspoken frat boy who could dance in 'Stomp The Yard.
Coming up for Elba next year are 'The No.1 Detective Agency' with Jill Scott, a remake of the horror film 'Prom Night', Guy Ritchie's RockNRolla, and 'The Human Contract', which is written and directed by Jada Pinkett-Smith, while Short has 'Whiteout' with Kate Beckinsale.
In 'This Christmas', Elba and Short play brothers Quentin and Claude Whitfield. Quentin's a musician who comes home after four years, while Cluade is an active duty Marine who arrives with some unexpected news as the rest family (Delroy Lindo, Loretta Devine, Regina King, Sharon Leal, Mekhi Phifer, Columbus Short, Chris Brown, Laz Alonzo, Lauren London, Keith Robinson, David Banner, Ricky Harris, and Jessica Strous) meets up for Christmas. As the siblings come home for the first time in years with plenty of baggage and as the Christmas tree is trimmed and lights are hung, secrets are revealed and the Whitfields joins together to discover the true meaning of family.
