Diablo Cody was captured on video, proving once again that she is merely human, by an interviewer at the press day for her new comedy Young Adult and had some things to say about writing the The Evil Dead remake script.
Look, I'm not going to pretend I conducted the interview. I know I've been lazy lately. I know I'm a big, fat, lazy person and that posting someone's interview is pretty lame, I don't care. Suck it. It's Sunday.
She clears up a few things. "I did a draft. I did like a polish slash rewrite on the pre-existing, excellent script by Fede Alvarez," she says.
[Editor's note: Polish, not "Polish" as in "Polack."]
"But I was nervous to take the job because I thought, Ugh, I’m gonna get shit for this. People are not gonna like this, because all people know of me is like Juno and they think I’m gonna pollute Evil Dead with like wacky dialogue and cute stuff and folk music, and it’s like 'No, look I understand what this is. I’m interested in storytelling here and making it scary and good and true to the original.' I feel like people will hopefully see Young Adult and go 'Oh, okay that’s a horrifying movie maybe she could pull it off (laughs).'"
Yeah, maybe.
Here's the video:
I kind of feel like everyone who is more successful than me should die. Just being honest.
