Diablo Codyis pulling back the pink curtains on her ill-fated attempt at writing aBarbiemovie.
The Oscar-winningJunoscreenwriter had been part of the writing team behind Sony’s big-screenBarbieproject, which was to starAmy Schumer.
But Cody departed the film in 2018, a year afterSchumer’s own exit.

(Codytold Screen Crushat the time, “I failed so hard at that project.
I was literally incapable of turning in aBarbiedraft.
God knows I tried.")
“I think I know why I s— the bed,“she said in newGQinterview.
Schumer revealed last month that shedeparted theBarbiemovie due to creative differences, despite initial claims of scheduling conflicts.
“Any time I came up with something meta, it was too much like what they had done.
Like Schumer, Cody is excited to seeBarbie,which she humorously referred to as “myJoker.”
