Zelda Williams' directorial debut ‘Lisa Frankenstein’ to star Cole Sprouse & Kathryn Newton

With ‘Lisa Frankenstein’, actor-director Zelda Williams is making her feature-length directorial debut, which will be led by Hollywood actors Kathryn Newton and Cole Sprouse. The script for the zom-com will be written by Oscar winner Diablo Cody, and principal photography will begin later this summer, according to Deadline. Cody is also serving as a producer alongside Mason Novick, who will produce ‘Lisa Frankenstein’ via his MXN Entertainment banner. This film reunites Cody and Novick, who have earlier worked on projects like ‘Tully’, ‘Young Adult’, ‘Jennifer’s Body’ and ‘Juno.’ Jeff Lampert will serve as executive producer.

Focus Features’ VP of Production and Development, Michelle Momplaisir, has come aboard to serve as the creative executive on the project.

Speaking about the film on her Twitter account, Williams stated, "I know Hollywood gets a bad rep for regurgitating sequels and remakes and reboots over and over and over… and yeah, it totally does that! But it’s also finally letting me make the most bonkers, wonderful zombie script I’ve ever read, and for that, I will be forever grateful!"

In a follow-up tweet, she explains how her last three films could not get a proper release.
