"Jennifer's Body" Sequel Is Happening with Amanda Seyfried & Megan Fox Returning

Yara Sameh The cult horror film 'Jennifer's Body,' starring Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried and Adam Brody, is nearing its 20th anniversary. Despite the film's cult status, sequel talks has been moving at a steady pace in the years following its 2009 release. Seyfried and Brody, in contention for Emmy nominations this year, recently reunited for Variety's ' Actors on Actors ' conversation where and shared important updates on the second film. 'We're making another one,' Seyfried told Brody definitively during their interview. 'I heard, what can you tell me?' he asked in return. In the original movie, 'Mamma Mia!' star Seyfried played Anita 'Needy' Lesnicki, the wallflower best friend of bad girl Fox (the titular Jennifer). Brody played Nikolai, lead singer of the aspiring rock band Low Shoulder. When the girls head to a local dive bar to see them play, Brody's character reveals bigger plans for his groupie Jennifer — a ritual sacrifice that will kill her and bring the band massive fame. Some problems arise in the fine print and Fox is transformed into a flesh-eating demon. Seyfried let on that the sequel is being spearheaded by producer Mason Novick ('Tully,' '500 Days of Summer'), who made the original with Jason Reitman and Daniel Dubiecki, which saw Brody and Fox's characters perish in the end. 'Are you going to do it?' Seyfried asked Brody about the next film, who said he hadn't been contacted about the project but noted that his character died. 'But so did Megan, and I'm not doing it without her,' Seyfried added, pitching Brody to play the devil this time around. She also suggested that original director Karyn Kusama ('Destroyer,' 'The Invitation') may be in the mix to return and that the pair had been trying to work together again after the first film. Considered a flop when the former 20th Century Fox brought it to theaters, the original grossed $31 million at the global box office on a $16 million budget. Pressure was high on Fox, who had broken big in Paramount's 'Transformers' franchise and on 'Jennifer's Body' screenwriter Diablo Cody, who had just come off an Oscar win for 'Juno.' But enduring fandom, the advent of streaming and discovery on platforms like TikTok have given 'Jennifer's Body' a strong cross-generational audience base. The movie was just shouted out on Benito Skinner's coming-of-age comedy 'Overcompensating.' Brody wondered to Seyfried what the second film should be called. 'Needy's Body,' she said. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
