DIABLO CODY NOW WRITING EVERY MOVIE
10.23.07
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Diablo Cody is teaming up with Megan Fox for a "comedic supernatural thriller" called Jennifer’s Body. Fox recently passed on a Horror-Comedy called "Lance’s Penis" (with religious themes).
The story, described as similar in tone to "Heathers" and "Beetlejuice," follows a cheerleader with a perfect life who becomes the girl from hell when she gets possessed and begins killing boys in a small town.
Diablo Cody, whose birth name is the much more writerly Brook Busey-Hunt (note to everyone: unless you’re the heir to the goddamned Hapsburg fortune, a hyphen in your last name looks ridiculous), is the writer behind Juno. Her memoir, Girly Style, is also being turned into a feature film, and she recently did a re-write of Burlesque, which is like stripping for pale goth chicks. She’s also writing a pilot for Showtime, The United States of Tara, based on an original idea by Steven Spielberg.
She’s often described as "former stripper", but it sounds more like she was a writer who took up stripping to have something to write about. Let her success be a lesson to you, ladies.
Although I tried stripping to jumpstart my writing career, and all I got was banned from The Coffee Bean. You know what they say, location location location.
