Karyn Kusama directing Jennifer's Body :: Film & TV News :: Articles

With Juno racking up awards, it looks like Diablo Cody's other screenplays will finally getting produced. Jennifer's Body has been talked about for a while, but it's just now making its way out of development hell.

"It’s a horror movie, and it’s also about teenagers," Cody told the MTV Movies Blog about the film. "It’s a lot darker [than Juno], and it also has comedic elements. Horror is my favorite genre - and like Juno, I like horror movies."

Karyn Kusama will direct the film. Kusama is probably best known for her work on Æon Flux, but previous to that, she directed the intense Girlfight, which went on to win the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance. Juno director Jason Reitman will produce, and Megan Fox will star as a "seemingly-perfect cheerleader whose life is thrown into disarray when she gets possessed by a demon, begins eating boys in her small Minnesota town, then faces off against her best friend and the Satan-worshipping band that made her evil." Yup, even three months after hearing the plot, it still sounds just as weird as ever.

Jennifer's Body begins shooting in March, with no release date set. After all, post-production sometimes takes a while when it involves cannibalism sequences.
