For a while it’s been known that Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody has been planning her directorial, Lamb Of God. However it’s now been revealed that the movie has lost its title, but the rumoured leads – Julianne Hough and Russell Brand – have been confirmed for the movie, along with a spring shooting date.
The comedy follows a sheltered young woman (Hough) who loses her faith after a plane crash and decides to go to Las Vegas to experience the wild side of life. On her journey, she meets an unlikely companion (Brand) who inadvertently helps her find her true self.
Whether Cody’s screenwriting skills will translate to directorial talent is yet to be seen, but with a stripper past she know a little bit about the wild side of life, so she’s picking a project that she can relate to.
