Megan Fox (Transformers) is teaming with Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody on a comedic supernatural thriller titled Jennifer's Body.

Fox Atomic pre-emptively picked up the Cody spec last week with Fox in negotiations to star. Mason Novick is on board to produce.

The story, described as similar in tone to Heathers and Beetlejuice, follows a cheerleader with a perfect life who becomes the girl from hell when she gets possessed and begins killing boys in a small town. Her best friend must then find a way to stop her.

Atomic is aiming to make the project before a possible writers strike.

Heht: I hope she plays the killer cheerleader and not the best friend, this sounds fun and Juno looks great, so i have some interest in this director.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Megan fox im there.



Plus it seems like a okay thought.

 

[Figs]

This had better be rated R, and not just for violence either. I want to see something and that something ain't her bad acting skills.

 

[Darkfly]

Megan Fox is HOT

 

[Kritish]

When I saw this thread title I was thinking of something a lot more entertaining. Damn you hype and your lack of lesbian porn.

 

[fu manchu]

Hmm...........Megan Fox........as a cheerleader............

 

[The Lizard]

I hope she's not playing a high school cheerleader in this movie. Megan's pretty hot, but someone needs to tell her agent that she looks 27, not 17.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

yeah and shes not that hott

 

[Matt]

Hmm, bad career move for Fox. She proved she is a commercially viable actress with Transformers. She is probably getting all kinds of scripts after Transformers. She should be more selective and definitely not take a horror movie.

 

[Red Mask]

Naomi Watts, Nicole Kidman, and Julia Roberts have done horror movies.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

yeah and look at how they performed.

 

[SuperT]

If it's written in the same way as Heathers & Beetlejuice, I'm sure it has potential.

Plus Megan Fox is an upcoming actress, so it's nice to see her at least getting a chance to start doing some things in Hollywood.

 

[GL1]

Never heard of heathers... but if "Beetlejuice" is what we're aiming for, there's no girl hot enough... and if there WAS a girl hot enough, it would surely not be Fox.

 

[Red Mask]

yeah and look at how they performed.

I did and those actors are still famous.

 

[Space Moose]

I got the perfect script for this film.

INT. HIGH SCHOOL - DAY
A bunch of no name actors are sitting around, using cell phones.

SOME GENERIC CHICK
Aren’t cell phones the coolest?

TOKEN BLACK CHARACTER
Yo, yo, yo. They best be writing some actual dialogue for this brother up in here. Or I’mo bussacap.

MEGAN FOX
(rolling eyes)
Ugh. You guys are so 90’s. It's all about making crappy MySpace references and bad music.

MALE AUDIENCE MEMBERS
TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRT, MEGAN!!! PLEASE!!! TAKE A SHOWER, ANYTHING!!!

I can't be bothered to finish the rest.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Naomi Watts, Nicole Kidman, and Julia Roberts have done horror movies.

Julia Roberts did a horror movie?


I don't think sleeping with the enemy is a horror movie.

 

[Episode29]

Julia Roberts did a horror movie?


I don't think sleeping with the enemy is a horror movie.

Yeah, I was gonna say that. He may be referring to "Mary Reilly"...

 

[Red Mask]

Flatliners!

 

[Kelly]

Sleeping With The Enemy maybe....but actually I don't think anything she has done would be classified as horror....I guess Flatliners could be in that category, but I see it more as a thriller/drama......

 

[bullets]

megan fox is hot but shes not the next julia roberts

2007Reitman Producing Jennifer's Body
A horror-comedy starring Megan Fox
Source: The Hollywood Reporter

If you were lucky enough to see Juno at the London Film Festival or one of the other worldwide festivals or some other mysterious way, you will know that it is already a contender for Best Comedy of 2008 (when it will be released). Which makes it very good news that its director Jason Reitman (son of Ivan) is set to produce Jennifer's Body.

Jennifer's Body is the next screenplay by Diablo Cody, who wrote Juno, the story of a teenage girl (Ellen Page) giving up her unplanned baby for adoption in the most hilarious, non-mawkish way you can imagine.

Jennifer's Body is something of a leap from Juno, being, as it is, a comedy-horror that mixes teen movie with demonic possession cannibalism. If you've heard Cody's dialogue and wry sensibility then you'll know that should be a brilliant premise, rather than some schlock to be cranked out for Halloween.

The film will star Megan Fox (Transformers) as the cheerleader who's taken over by a demon and starts eating the local boys, but not really in the sexy way they might have hoped. That's why the main news pic is Fox and not Reitman. He's funny and brilliant, but she's more purdy.

And Juno's star, Ellen Page, heck - even co-star Olivia Thirlby - have more talent.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

Huh, I might give it a shot when it hits DVD.

 

[turtlefocker]

Megan Fox is HOT

can't. Stop. *********ing.

 

[Dr. Fate]

I hope she's not playing a high school cheerleader in this movie. Megan's pretty hot, but someone needs to tell her agent that she looks 27, not 17.

And yet she's not actually 27, not just yet.
