Jennifer’s Body 2: Diablo Cody Wants to Make a Sequel to Megan Fox Horror Movie
It’s been over a decade since the release of Jennifer’s Body, the horror movie that starred Megan Fox as a demon-possessed high school student. The film, written by Diablo Cody and directed by Karyn Kusama, received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, but has since developed a cult following. Now, it seems that Cody is interested in revisiting the world of Jennifer’s Body and making a sequel.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Cody revealed that she has been thinking about making a sequel to Jennifer’s Body for some time. "I’ve been thinking about it for years, and I think it’s time to do it," she said. "I love the characters, I love the world, and I think there’s still so much to explore."
Cody didn’t reveal much about the potential plot of the sequel, but did hint that it would follow a new group of characters. "I think we could do a great job of introducing new characters and exploring the mythology of the demon possession," she said. "I think it would be a great way to expand the universe and give fans something new to love."
The original Jennifer’s Body was based on a script by Cody, who was inspired by her own experiences as a teenager. The film follows Needy (Amanda Seyfried), a high school student who becomes obsessed with her best friend Jennifer (Megan Fox), after Jennifer is possessed by a demon. The movie received criticism for its portrayal of female relationships and its treatment of Megan Fox’s character, but has since been reevaluated by some critics who see it as a commentary on toxic masculinity and the objectification of women.
If a sequel to Jennifer’s Body does move forward, it will likely be a very different film from the original. Cody has said that she is interested in exploring different themes and ideas, and that the sequel would likely be more of a horror movie than the original. "I think we could do a great job of creating a really scary and intense movie," she said. "I think it would be a great way to challenge ourselves as writers and to push the boundaries of what we can do in a horror movie."
While there is no official word on whether a sequel to Jennifer’s Body is actually in the works, Cody’s comments suggest that she is at least considering the idea. Fans of the original movie will likely be excited to hear that Cody is interested in revisiting the world of Jennifer’s Body, and that she has big plans for the sequel. Whether or not the movie will actually be made remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Diablo Cody is always up for a challenge, and a sequel to Jennifer’s Body could be a really exciting project for her.
