Why Was Diablo Cody Meeting With Hugh Hefner?
September 25th, 2009 by molls
Juno and Jennifer’s Body writer Diablo Cody met up with Hugh Hefner yesterday to discuss the long-talked about Brian Grazer-produced biopic about the Playboy founder yesterday, according to Hefner’s Twitter. Although meetings are held all day long in Hollywood that more often than not result in nothing, it’s notable that the Cody is considering taking on such a film. The departure from her indie-comedy/horror starts (which are departures from each other in the first place) further goes to show that there’s really no telling where Cody’s career will go. The writer herself announced this week that she’s penning a movie based on the Sweet Valley High book series and said in an interview with Rolling Stone movie critic Peter Travers that even she would be confused by her career trajectory if she was not Diablo Cody herself.
So what would you think about a Hugh Hefner biopic written by Diablo Cody? Do you think that she has the star-power to elevate this kind of flick past the TV-movie-of-the-week status that one would imagine such a movie to have, or would you prefer that she make like an ankle toy and Skip It? (Yeah, that was my half-assed attempt at a Juno-ism. Give me a break, Nell Carter. It’s 2k9.)

My head hurt from try read and try make sense of post.
Awww. There there. I’m trying to find some nice Jon Gosselin pictures for you to look at. Don’t worry about the actual industry news, Mama’s got you.
I’m cool with the industry news and am familiar with all of the players that you mentioned; it’s the convoluted post that confounded me. You started to lose me at “biopic about the Playboy biopic” and things didn’t get much better from there.
But, ultimately, I guess I’m okay — if mama’s got me.
LOLERSK8Z- ur right. I meant to write “playboy founder” but was reading back what I had written and wrote “biopic” again… I guess I should go find some Gosselin pictures to bring me back to Earth. xo
arrogant little twat, ain’t you molls? put a pin in that swollen little head of yours and learn to proof your posts, newbie.
Whats up with her eye in this picture? Its like a Picasso painting!
I’d like to see Tim Burton take on Hef’s biopic. Now THAT would be worth watching.
here, here! how i wish this could come to be.
Somehow, I do think Mr. Depp could pull off a portrayal of Hef. What CAN’T he do.
I mean, it’s a GIVEN that Johnny would play him, right?
We can continue to dream, girls.
Your avatar makes my neck hurt. You ok?
It should be two hour shot of cow manure with flies circling around; on top of dirt.. in the middle of a overgrown cow pasture. That should cover Hugh’s life from childhood until now.
I am surprised that HEFF can even use a computer, never the less type on Twitter.
Oh my gooooodddd. I hate Diablo Cody. The entire world dropped in IQ the second Juno came out.
Her book about being a stripper was groovy though. Then she went and fucked it all up with JUNO.
What has she done to her hair? We’re missing the real news here, people?
