Jason Reitman to direct Diablo Cody's 'Young Adult'

Posted by AuthorFranck Tabouring | DateMonday, August 2, 2010 at 8:13PM | In ,

Jason Reitman is set to direct Diablo Cody's script "Young Adult," and Charlize Theron is set to play the lead in the project, according to Deadline. That means the team behind "Juno" is back together.

The story? Theron plays a young adult novel ghostwriter who sets out to find an identity with her pseudonym. One of the things she does is try to refresh the relationship with her ex-boyfriend.

Cody won an Oscar for "Juno," and she also wrote "Jennifer's Body," which I admit I enjoyed. Reitman's most recent flick was "Up in the Air," my favorite film of 2009. It was nominated for several Oscars as well.
