‘Bring Her Back’ – Cast Announced for New Movie from ‘Talk to Me’ Directors

The supernatural webcomic Death of a Pop Star is headed to the screen, with Variety reporting that Diablo Cody (Jennifer’s Body, Lisa Frankenstein) will produce the film adaptation.

Additionally, Isa Mazzei (Cam, Faces of Death) will be writing the script!

From creator Violet Karim, Death of a Pop Star ” tells the supernatural story of Sophie, a beloved pop star at the top of her game — until she takes a tumble from the top of the stairs and wakes up in Hell. Lucky for her, the Grim Reaper is her number one fan and, in a desperate attempt to save his idol, secretly gives Sophie a second chance at life back on Earth.

“But with Sophie’s resurrection comes a deadly target on her back when she’s threatened with being dragged back to Hell.”

Wattpad Webtoon Studios is behind the upcoming film adaptation.

“Death of a Pop Star is one of those titles that just lends itself so perfectly to a live-action adaptation,” said Wattpad Webtoon Studios president Aron Levitz. “Violet created such a mesmerizing, must-read story, and when it came to choosing a partner to help us bridge the gap between the living and the dead, who else does that better than Diablo Cody?”

Diablo Cody will produce alongside Mason Novick. “As a huge fan of both pop music and the undead, I am so excited to help bring this offbeat story to the screen,” said Cody.
