She’s since written the not-brilliantly-received Megan Fox-starrer Jennifer’s Body, and has reteamed with Juno’s director Jason Reitman for the upcoming Young Adult, which already has so much positive buzz surrounding it.
It was really only a matter of time before Cody made her directorial debut, and Deadline are reporting that Russell Brand (Get Him to the Greek) and Julianne Hough (the upcoming Footloose) are set to star in her first film behind the lens.
“Hough plays a sheltered young woman who loses her faith after a plane crash and revels in the decadence of Las Vegas. There, she meets an unlikely companion who helps her find herself.”
The film is currently untitled, but production is set to start in spring next year, presumably from a script Cody has herself written, which by itself would be something to look forward to. Add to that the fact she’ll be helming the project too, and it becomes even more interesting. I’m already looking forward to seeing what she’ll be like behind the camera as a director. More news as and when we get it.
