Diablo Cody - Evil Dead
Diablo Cody, the ex-stripper who found fame after writing the critically acclaimed
Juno. She would later go on to create the Showtime television show
United States of Tara with Toni Collette in the lead role. Recently though she has been brought in to clean up director, Fede Alvarez's script for the remake to Sam Raimi's 1980's horror/comedy classic,
Evil Dead.
"It was really important again to the filmmakers that it remain totally grounded in reality and timeless. They weren't trying to make some hip trendy horror movie full of pop culture references. I really hope people don't think that that's what I was hired to do," Cody said. "I came in and worked on characters and relationships, things like that."
"I will say that Sam Raimi, of course, and Bruce Campbell are both involved as producers and that I wouldn't have worked on it otherwise. Had to have the original geniuses," she said.
