Movie Info


On September 23rd, 2009, the entertainment & media world released the news that Universal was in final talks to acquire the rights to 152-book series Sweet Valley High for Academy Award winning screenwriter Diablo Cody to adapt to the big screen. The news – which has whipped fans in to an absolute frenzy as to whose going to be cast/ what approach is going to be taken and when it is going to be released – has yet to confirm or set in stone anything specific as yet… however, in an exclusive article published within Entertainment Weekly’s October 23rd 2009 issue, Diablo has mentioned how her meeting with Francine Pascal, saw them both envisioning the movie from a very similar perspective. Additionally, via live updates through her personal Twitter page, Diablo has said that the film will be set in the 1980’s, much like the original novels: “Don’t feel like brokering some deal with T-Mobile to give Enid a Sidekick.” It won’t be anything like the 1990’s television series based on the books. The story will be a “sharp comedy/satire” but will feature “plenty of ‘sincere’ SVH moments too.” “No werewolves. Plenty of Todd.”
