Diablo Cody Works on Cult Classic Jennifer's Body Sequel

More than 15 years after its 2009 release, the horror cult classic "Jennifer's Body" is set to get a sequel, with original screenwriter Diablo Cody currently working on the script. Director Karyn Kusama expressed excitement about the follow-up, describing it as "fun and crazy" like the first film and confident in Cody's ability to deliver something incredible. The original movie, starring Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried, was initially mis-marketed mainly on Fox's sex appeal, which led to poor box office performance and critical confusion, but it has since gained a passionate cult following. Both Kusama and Cody have reflected on the film’s critical and commercial failure at the time, but appreciate its later recognition and cultural reassessment. Co-stars Fox and Seyfried have shown enthusiasm for revisiting their roles, with discussions of a sequel or even a TV series. Kusama is grateful that the film eventually found its audience and is eager to return to the world of "Jennifer's Body."
