Diablo Cody Confirms She’s Writing ‘Jennifer’s Body 2’

The writer says a fan-led reevaluation of the 2009 film shaped a freer sequel.

Overview

  • Diablo Cody confirmed on Bloody Disgusting’s The Boo Crew podcast that she is currently writing the Jennifer’s Body sequel.
  • Cody said she felt held back on the first film and now feels “unleashed,” signaling a bolder, less cautious tone.
  • She described the new movie as a direct response to the cult rediscovery of the original that grew from fan enthusiasm.
  • Co-producer Mason Novick, one of the few who have read the script, praised it as very funny and focused on issues that feel current today.
  • No actors are attached yet, and Amanda Seyfried has said she would only return if Megan Fox comes back as well.
