Diablo Cody
Brooke Busey-Maurio (born June 14, 1978), better known by the pen name Diablo Cody, is an American writer, director, and producer. She first became known for her candid memoir, "" (2005), and the blog that preceded it. Later, Cody achieved critical acclaim for her debut feature film script, "Juno" (2007), winning awards such as the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, the BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay, the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay, and the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay.
Dario Argento
Argento began work on his directorial debut, the giallo film "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage", which was released in 1970 and was a major hit in Italy. Argento continued to concentrate largely on the giallo genre, directing two more successful thrillers, "The Cat o' Nine Tails" (1971) and "Four Flies on Grey Velvet" (1972). Along with "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage", these three films are frequently referred to as Argento's "Animal Trilogy". The director then turned his attention away from giallo movies, filming two Italian TV dramas and a period comedy ("The Five Days") in 1973. Argento returned to thrillers with 1975's "Deep Red", frequently cited by many critics as the best giallo ever made. The film made Argento famous internationally and inspired a number of other directors to work in the genre (John Carpenter has frequently referred to the influence Argento's early work had on "Halloween").
