Tig Notaro is ready to turn her life into a scripted comedy.
The stand-up comedian — currently the subject of an HBO comedy special and Netflix documentary — is set to star in and co-write a semi-autobiographical comedy for Amazon, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
There has to be a better way of creating tags for untitled things than "Untitled Louis C.K., Diablo Cody Amazon Comedy".

Deadline: Sony Pictures has set Diablo Cody to write the next draft of Barbie, the live-action film based on Mattel’s top-selling fashion doll that the studio believes will anchor a global film franchise. The studio made a deal awhile back with Mattel and Parkes+MacDonald/Image Nation for the comedy, and had Jenny Bicks write the first draft. Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald are producing, and they recently invited Amy Pascal to join them.
