Diablo Cody to Adapt Sweet Valley High for the Big Screen

Diablo Cody is adapting the Sweet Valley High book series by Francine Pascal for the big screen.
The "Sweet Valley" novels followed the lives of identical twins with dissimilar personalities -- the sensitive and practical Elizabeth and the flighty and boy-crazy Jessica -- in the fictional town of Sweet Valley. There were more than 150 books in the series between 1983 and 2003 and a TV series with 88 episodes between 1994 and 1997.

U put out the word last week that it's not spending money for the rest of this year to advance development projects -- unless they're being fast-tracked or greenlit (Daily Variety, Sept. 18). Deal comes on the heels of a tepid opening for "Jennifer's Body," which Cody scripted.
No casting details have been announced, so it's a mystery who will play the Wakefield twins. Somehow we're thinking it won't be Megan Fox. But, then again, you never know.
