13 Diablo Cody Lines We'd Love To Hear Come Out Of Barbie's Mouth

The 'Juno' screenwriter is bringing her realness to a Barbie movie.

Everyone's favorite doll is getting a decidedly surprising voice: "Juno" screenwriter Diablo Cody will rewrite the script for Sony's upcoming 'Barbie' movie, the studio announced.

Mattel hopes to make the blonde into the center of a live-action film franchise, and Cody's script is meant to emphasize female empowerment and the development of professional skills. Barbie dolls have been controversial since their introduction in 1959, with critical eyes cast to the mostly to the doll's unrealistic measurements and the standards of beauty that she represented.

Producer Walter Parkes gushed about Cody in a release.

"Diablo's unconventionality is just what Barbie needs," he said. "It signals we're going for a legitimately contemporary tone. We're bringing her on because she had great ideas, but even more importantly, she truly loves Barbie."

We're big fans of Cody's work, from her screenplays for "Juno," "Young Adult," "Jennifer's Body" and "Paradise" to her memoir about her year stripping, "Candy Girl." Ahead, here are 13 things Cody's written that we'd love to hear come out of Barbie's mouth.
