The Oscar-winning team who created the indie sensation “Juno” two years ago will try to recreate that magic with “Young Adult.”
Deadline reports that director Jason Reitman, screenwriter Diablo Cody, Mandate Pictures and the production company Mr. Mudd will reteam for the Charlize Theron-starring flick that follows a young adult novel ghost writer who plots to reclaim her identity.
Cody, along with Mason Novick, Lianne Halfon and Russell Smith of John Malkovich’s Mr. Mudd banner will produce, while Nathan Kahane and Malkovich of Mandate are exec producers.
Plans are to begin production in New York on November 10.
Cody won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar writing “Juno” and Reitman was nominated for directing.
