02.24.09 UGH. DIABLO CODY. UNRELEASED BOOK. ZOMBIES.
First of all, I’m not a Diablo Cody hater. Aside from the annoyingly kitschy dialog at the beginning and the overbearing hipster rock throughout (whose inclusion probably had nothing to do with Cody), I actually enjoyed Juno. There, I said it. Still, this story’s about a movie I’m pretty sure they’ve already made 10 times.
Fox Searchlight has acquired rights to the upcoming [i.e., not even out yet] novel “Breathers: A Zombie’s Lament” by S.G. Browne. Cody will produce the zombie romantic comedy, marking her third collaboration with the studio following “Juno” and the upcoming Megan Fox starrer “Jennifer’s Body.” [which was about "a cheerleader possessed by a demon who begins feeding off the boys in a Minnesota farming town."]
“Breathers” centers on a recently deceased Everyman and newly minted zombie who is having trouble adjusting to his new existence. All that changes when he goes to an Undead Anonymous meeting and finds kindred souls. [Variety]
OMG, that sounds so cute and hip and fetch! We could call it a zomrombedy! And there’ll be tons of hilarious self-help references! This is going to be the most kickin and blingy and meta and iPod and web 2.0 movie evar! I’m totally going to American Apparel this afternoon to get an outfit for the premiere.

You know how I know you’re gay? You cried happy tears during Juno.
Can zombies ride 10-speeds?
Good to know the publishing criteria for novels is now “can we sell the movie rights to this unpublished, possibly-nonexistent manuscript based on the picture on the dust jacket?”
Can zombies ride 10-speeds?
Not hipster zombies. They can only ride fixed gear.
I went to an AA meeting to find my kindred souls are drunk-ass Indians.
Hipster zombies don’t eat brains because it took them forever to flatiron their bangs.
That Oscar she’s holding is a big tipper.
I went to a AAA meeting to find my kindred souls all have flat tires and empty gas tanks.
i bet she can fit that whole oscar in her mouth.
Hipster zombies walk like that because their jeans are too tight.
Hipster zombies naw on thigh bones.
This movie will only be good if Nick Frost plays the newly minted zombie.
He’s Just Not That into Brains.
Starring Gooey Deschanel.
I certainly hope this film features a brain phone.
if zombies copulate is that considered necrophilia?
Hipster zombies’ blue tooth headsets are made from real teeth.
Hipster zombies won’t eat your brains because you listen to Cobra Starship and that is like so fucking last year, man.
Zuppies.
Hipster Zombies all have iPod Shuffles.
Why do we lay all of this credibility at the feet of people with unproven track records? Fuck, I am sure there are a lot of fucking strippers that could make a real interesting story/movie ONCE, but I don’t go out of my way to suck off “Escape Club” for performing “Wild Wild West”.
This egocentric bitch can ride her fifteen minutes. Until she proves otherwise, she is a one-hit wonder. For whatever reason, hers is the kind of bullshit Hollywood loves.
It’s also the reason they don’t get MY money.
Michael Richards asked his agent to get him a role in this movie as a “hipster doofus zombie.”
Amy Winehouse was going to make her acting debut in this movie as a “hipster zombie lounge singer” but the casting director turned her down as “too decayed-looking.”
If Diablo Cody and Frank Miller had a kid, it would be raised by Miramax.
Z is for Zombie - Good enough to eat
O is for ombie - ood enough to eat
M is for mbie -
Good God I really got nothing. Off to work for you Ms. Michelle!
