Diablo Cody writing big screen comedy for Steven Spielberg
Juno script because he didn't think he could do the material justice, has given screenwriter Diablo Cody a big money deal to adapt a big screen comedy based on his original idea. Dreamworks are going to great lengths in keeping quiet on just what that idea is with many of the deal-makers involved blissfully unaware of the project they are making deals for, is actually about. Though you would think that would have to change once a producer for the project is found. The project will mark the second time the pair have worked together in such a short space of time. Spielberg is executive producer on the upcoming Toni Collete led t.v. show The United States of Tara which Cody wrote the original pilot for and was also based on a Spielberg idea. Depending on the subject matter, this could well end up being a future Spielberg directed project. His next directed film will be the first part of Tintin expected to get underway in September, then following that it's anything out of The Trial of Chicago 7, the sci-fi movie Interstellar or most likely the Lincoln biopic with Liam Neeson. source - variety
