 Tagline: She's evil... and not just high school evil.
Jennifer's Body is about small town high school student Jennifer (Megan Fox), who is possessed by a hungry demon. She transitions from being “high school evil” – gorgeous (and doesn’t she know it), stuck up and ultra-attitudinal – to the real deal: evil/evil.
The glittering beauty becomes a pale and sickly creature jonesing for a meaty snack, and guys who never stood a chance with the heartless babe, take on new luster in the light of Jennifer’s insatiable appetite. Meanwhile, Jennifer’s lifelong best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried), long relegated to living in Jennifer’s shadow, must step-up to protect the town's young men, including her nerdy boyfriend Chip (Johnny Simmons).
After writing “Juno,” which Diablo Cody describes as a warm, sweet, life-affirming movie, she wanted to venture into darker territory. “I wanted to write something that was about my fears, something that was a little edgy and eerie, but also funny,” Cody notes. “So I started thinking about what’s scary to me, and I decided that girls are scary!”
As in “Juno,” Cody uses an offbeat writing voice marked by whip-smart dialogue and pop-culture savvy, to mine the precipitous terrain of adolescence. “I don’t know why teenagers are my muses…they just are!” she says.
