Overview
- Diablo Cody told the Petticoat Revolution podcast on Saturday that a Jennifer’s Body sequel is happening “imminently,” though she declined to share detailed plot or casting information.
- Deadline has reported the project is being developed for 20th Century Studios, and original director Karyn Kusama has told reporters she is excited about early plans.
- Cody says the new script leans into Jennifer’s loneliness, isolation and insecurity to present a more sympathetic portrait of the title character.
- Both Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried have publicly expressed interest in returning to the story, but no cast confirmations or production schedule have been released.
- The move to revive Jennifer’s Body builds on a long reappraisal of the 2009 film, which was initially panned and later became a cult favorite, and it could encourage studios to revisit other cult properties.
