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.
