Diablo Cody: Not Enough Female Driven Stories In Hollywood.

It’s nice to be well known and to have people recognize what I’ve worked on, but what’s still hard for me, every time, is convincing people to make a film with a female lead who isn’t necessarily sympathetic or bubbly. And that’s hard,” Cody said at the recent Summer of Sony event in Cancun, Mexico.
