Jennifer’s Body may have flopped at the box ofice, but now it’s a crucial cultural artifact. Karyn Kusama’s tale of feminine rage penned by Juno’s Diablo Cody touched so many different themes that spoke to its audience: misogyny, revenge, queer love, and simply how difficult it is to exist as a teenage girl. There was also a lot of blood. And a rock band.
It’s been almost a decade since Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried brought Jennifer and Needy to life, but fascination with the movie hasn’t wavered. There was even a live table read of the movie starring modern-day It Girls Rachel Sennott and Ella Purnell. The demand for a sequel is clearly there, and Diablo Cody has provided an exciting update on the follow-up’s progress.
