Keep in mind Jennifer’s Body? 2009 audiences weren’t actually thrilled to see Megan Fox play a excessive schooler consuming teenage boys, however more moderen audiences have been capable of groove on its wavelength extra. It’s now bought one thing of a cult basic standing, and for author Diablo Cody, the turnaround’s been so robust that she’s apparently bought eyes to do one other one.
Wanting again on the horror-comedy with BloodyDisgusting, Cody confessed how Jennifer’s preliminary launch and muted $31.6 million field workplace left her feeling “fairly humiliated.” Again then, issues had been tough for each her and Fox, who’d already been caught up within the muck of the second Transformers film months earlier. Pre-release, the assumption on twentieth Century Fox’s finish was that it’d do fairly properly with the younger grownup crowd, and the studio had tried to provide it an additional enhance by revealing that Fox and co-star Amanda Seyfried (who performed Jennifer’s frumpy greatest pal, Needy) would kiss within the movie. That tactic didn’t find yourself doing a lot for its field workplace, clearly.
It was just a few years in the past that Jennifer’s Physique was appreciated by way of a feminist horror lens and viewers began to come back to its protection. At first, Cody admitted it bought a bit of on her nerves and brought on her to ask herself, “The place was this viewers after I wanted it?.” By her admission, the reply was possible both viewers discovering they appreciated it by way of rewatch (which occurs!), or simply not being sufficiently old to see it in 2009. Both means, seeing individuals prefer it has been “what I had thought all alongside.”
When requested in regards to the probabilities of a continuation in some kind, Cody made clear she was “not completed with Jennifer’s Physique”. She’s not saying something concrete is in retailer, however initially, she desires to search out somebody “who believes in it as a lot as I do.” The movie is owned by Fox, whose dad or mum firm Disney has began placing out new films and reveals from its subsidiary’s non-Marvel stable. If Disney determined to greenlight one other one, it’d be an excellent time for it. Even when it’s finally ends up being about one other Jennifer who will get an identical starvation for some individuals, it’s value a shot. If Chucky can have a three-season show, something’s potential.
Till then, you possibly can see Cody return to horror with Lisa Frankenstein, which hits theaters on February 9.
