MOVIELINE "[Diablo] Cody said she hadn’t begun a script 'even in terms of research' about the fabled Beach Boys frontman, but it’d be her dream assignment.

INDIEWIRE/THE PLAYLIST "[Diablo] Cody told the crowd that one idea she’s been dreaming of being involved with is a biopic of famed Beach Boys frontman, Brian Wilson, whose illustrious career and battle with drugs and mental illness would provide ripe source material for any film adaptation.
