Diablo Cody to Direct LAMB OF GOD
She's won an Oscar (Juno), created a hit show (The United States of Tara) and produced a big Hollywood movie (Jennifer's Body), so it is only fitting that screenwriter Diablo Cody's next project will find her sitting in the director's chair as well.
Mandate Pictures - who were in charge of Juno and her forthcoming project directed by Jason Reitman Young Adult - today announced they will finance the religious comedy Lamb of God. The script, penned by Cody, centers on a conservative girl who has a falling out with her faith after a plane crash and high tails it to Las Vegas to find out how the other half lives.
No word yet on who will star in the film - but odds makers wouldn't be too off the deep end to put a line on Cody playing the role herself. Sounds like there isn't anything she isn't keen to try.
