“Diablo Cody” and “Sweet Valley High<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Now there’s two names I never thought I’ld would be putting into the same sentance.<\/p>\n

So far in her career, Cody is best known for writing about pregnant teens , teens possessed by murderous demons and housewives with multiple personality disorder, subjects I feel reasonably safe in assuming that the Sweet Valley High<\/em> books never touched. Then again, a quick purusal of the Wikipedia<\/a> entry for the series shows that the twin girl stars of the book have gone through a series of unbelievable adventures including battling vampires and werewolves, been romantically involved with numerous European royalty, attending a school wich seemed to have an excessive number of proms per school year and never getting a zit, so who know?<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a> states that “Cody’s formative years were informed by the books,” so I can understand the allure of the project for her. I will leave it to those more familiar with the series to draw a parrallel between the book series’s twin leads and the dynamic between the Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried in Jennifer’s Body<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
