Diablo Cody Reveals She Still Wants A 'JENNIFER'S BODY' Sequel

Jennifer’s Body was a sleeper hit amongst horror fans and made, Megan Fox a certified horror fans wet dream, back in 2009 as the film only pulled in $31.5 million at the box office. Considering the film was made for an estimated $16 million, it would seem like a sequel COULD happen but has of this writing, not been in existence…but there could be a chance.

Directed by Karyn Kusama and written by Diablo Cody, the movie stars Megan Fox as Jennifer Check, a high school cheerleader who is possessed by a demonic force after a ritual gone wrong.

Amanda Seyfried plays Jennifer's best friend, Needy Lesnicky.

From there, we followed Jennifer as she developed a taste for human flesh and began preying on male classmates.

Needy, realizing what's happened to her friend, later tries to stop Jennifer's murderous rampage.

Talking to Bloody Disgusting, Cody admitted he'd like to make a follow-up, enthusiastically telling the site, "Yes! I wanna do a sequel."

"I am not done with Jennifer’s Body," she added. "I just need to find...I need to partner with people who believe it in as much as I do and that hasn’t really happened yet. I need someone to believe in it who has a billion dollars."

It's clearly far from greenlit at this stage, but Cody would go on to share his gratitude for the way horror fans have since embraced the movie's LGBTQ+ themes and feminist messages. "I mean, it’s gotten progressively happier for me," she says. "At first I was like, I was excited about it obviously, but I was also a little bit salty because I remember thinking, well where was this audience when the movie came out. It was a critical, commercial failure."

"I was pretty humiliated to be perfectly honest with you. It was a rough experience having that movie come out," Cody said of the initial reaction. "It was rough for me, it was rough for Megan [Fox]...[then] people started suddenly talking about it like it was a good movie, which I had thought all along. At first I just thought, oh where was this audience when I needed it, and then I realized they were like...seven."

"And then some people who maybe didn’t appreciate it at the time have come around and now I’m just like, there’s no saltiness, now I’m just happy."

We’ll keep you posted on whether Jennifer’s Body will indeed be getting a true sequel.
