A Horror Classic Refuses to Die
Jennifer’s Body is officially getting the resurrection fans have been begging for — and this time, Hollywood finally understands the power it underestimated. After over a decade of cult worship, director Karyn Kusama confirms that Diablo Cody is deep into developing a “fun and crazy” sequel for 20th Century Studios.
The news dropped just before Kusama reunited with Megan Fox for a sold-out screening at the Academy Museum, proving this demonic cheerleader story still has the world in a chokehold.
The Sequel Fans Deserve
Kusama didn’t hold back on her excitement: “I’m very excited to hear what comes of it… I have no doubt Diablo will do something absolutely incredible.”
The duo that crafted the original chaos is ready to push boundaries again — with fans already hoping Fox returns to reclaim her role as cinema’s most seductive flesh-eating icon.
Cult Status Born From a Misunderstood Past
When Jennifer’s Body hit theaters in 2009, it was unfairly buried beneath misogynistic backlash and marketing that completely missed the point. Now? It’s a feminist horror masterpiece celebrated by Gen Z, TikTok, and every former emo kid who ever blasted the soundtrack on repeat.
Prime Video’s Overcompensating even crowned it “the Godfather” of chaotic womanhood — a title that delights Kusama to her core.
Megan Fox: The Demon Queen We Didn’t Deserve
Kusama praised Fox as a genuinely brilliant comedic actor whose intelligence and razor-sharp talent were ignored during that era. “She was dismissed, attacked, mistrusted… so she brought this amazing comedy and real vulnerability to the role.”
Her performance — equal parts terrifying and empowering — has only grown more iconic with time.
A Legacy of Strong Women & Horror Royalty
The film also launched Amanda Seyfried’s turn as one of horror’s most beloved best friends, and transformed Kyle Gallner into a full-fledged scream king. Adam Brody drenched in eyeliner? Cinematic history.
Even Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz nearly joined the chaos — until it felt “too meta.” But the band still helped shape the film’s unforgettable soundtrack.
The Scene That Changed Horror Forever
Kusama shared her favorite filmmaking moment: intercutting Colin Gray’s doomed date with Jennifer against Needy and Chip’s infamous bedroom scene. “Seeing it in theaters, hearing audiences react… it was a blast.”
The tonal whiplash — horror, comedy, desire, fear — is exactly why the film endures.
A New Reign Begins
Now, with feminist horror at its peak, the timing couldn’t be better. The audience is here. The love is real. The story still has guts left to spill.
If Jennifer Check returns… Hell itself better get ready.
Blood. Friendship. Feminine Fury. Part Two Is Coming.
And fans are already sharpening their teeth.
