Oscar winner Diablo Cody will be among the guests of the 2009 edition of the Courmayeur Noir in Festival. The screenwriter of Juno wrote and executive produced Jennifer's Body, directed by Karyn Kusama (Aeon Flux) and starring Megan Fox.
“I wanted to write something that was about my fears,” said Cody about the new film, “something that was a little edgy and eerie, but also funny. So I started thinking about what's scary to me, and I decided that girls are scary!”
As in Juno, Cody once again tackles adolescents in Jennifer’s Body, though in the horror vein. “I don’t know why teenagers are my muses…they just are!” she said. “Teenagers inspire me. I'm fascinated with teen speak...with youth culture. I love adolescents because they're in a kind of purgatory. They're not kids anymore, and at the same time they don't have adult responsibilities. So they're just experiencing life, but with all these heightened emotions.”
Cody won 18 awards for her screenwriting debut Juno, including the WGA Award, an Independent Spirit Award and the Best Original Screenplay Oscar. A columnist for 'Entertainment Weekly', Cody has also written for numerous other publications. In 2004 she published her hit memoir Candy Girl. Recently, she co-created and has written the series The United States of Tara, which is executive produced by Steven Spielberg and stars Toni Colette.
Jennifer's Body is the story of a beautiful cheerleader and her best friend Needy, a shy nerd dating her first love Chip. One evening, Needy and Jennifer go to a rock concert at which the cheerleader hopes to seduce Nikolai, the singer of the band. After a fire breaks out in the bar, Jennifer will no longer be the same…
