Oscar-Winner Diablo Cody Mounting Zombie Movie!!

I am – Hercules!!


Superscreenwriter Diablo Cody, currently batting 1000 with back to back hits “Juno” and Showtime’s “The United States of Tara,” is now venturing into George Romero territory.

The new project is based on S.G. Browne’s novel “Breathers: A Zombie’s Lament,” a zomromcom about a newly undead fellow who joins a support group.

Geoff LaTulippe, the longtime New Line script reader who wrote that studio’s upcoming “Going The Distance,” is aboard to script.

This marks Cody’s third collaboration with Fox Searchlight; they earlier teamed on “Juno” and the Sept. 18 possessed-cheerleader comedy “Jennifer’s Body.”

I love Diablo Cody and I love zombie movies and I am keen to see what comes of this.
