Diablo Cody Wants to Make a Sequel to JENNIFER'S BODY

For those of you who enjoyed the 2009 high school-set horror movie Jennifer’s Body, you’ll be happy to know that the film’s writer Diablo Cody is not done with the franchise and she wants to make a sequel.

Megan Fox stars in the movie as a possessed high school cheerleader who goes on a monstrous killing spree murdering her male classmates. With how the social climate has changed over the years, the movie is now seen as a feminist revenge movie that was ahead of its time.

During a recent interview with Bloody-Disgusting, Cody reflected on the movie, sharing her thoughts:

“I mean it’s gotten progressively happier for me. 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. 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.”

Cody went on to say that if she was given the opportunity to make a sequel, she would happily do it. She excitedly said:

“YES! I wanna do a sequel. I am not done with Jennifer’s Body. 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.”

As of right now, Cody is out promoting her new film, Lisa Frankenstein. She is also currently working on another horror script, and regarding that, she said:

“I have an unfinished one kicking around that I need to finish that I think is definitely THE most straight horror, like, overt, gore, scary thing I’ve ever written. I’m really proud of the concept and I just have to push myself across the finish line.”

Did you enjoy Jennifer’s Body, would you be up for watching a sequel? It seems like Cody has been keeping busy, though. I’m curious about this new horror film she’s working on.
