Karyn Kusama

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment is releasing Jennifer’s Body, written by Diablo Cody and directed by Karyn Kusama (Aeon Flux), on unrated Blu-ray Disc and DVD on December 29, 2009, - just in time to make up a great drinking game for New Year's Eve wherein everytime anyone in the film says something stupid, you drink! You're gonna be wasted.

Megan Fox (Transformers) is Jennifer, a seductive cheerleader who takes evil to a whole new level after she’s possessed by a sinister demon...

Journalist Shannon Donnelly has written an interesting piece on the subject of feminism in modern horror films for The Daily Beast entitled "Revenge of the Scream Queen". It includes an interview with Jennifer's Body director Karyn Kusama and lightly touches on the issue of having a strong woman in front of, and behind, the camera of a horror film.

Featuring Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Johnny Simmons
Review by Matthew Funk

Fans of Joss Whedon will delight—four years after FOX cancelled Firefly, they pay partial penance with this well-intentioned Buffy: The Vampire Slayer remake: Jennifer’s Body.

I don't know. Diablo uses the words 'Cinematic and Atmospheric', whilc Megan promises that this film will 'shock us'. Hm.

Unfortunately, from what I've seen so far, the movie seems predictable and shallow. Check out the new promo below and decide for yourself...

Actress Megan Fox (Transformers 2, Toe Thumb) recently did a Public Service Announcement-type ad for her upcoming horror flick Jennifer's Body, written by that girl Diablo Cody (Juno) and directed by Karyn Kusama (Aeon Flux.)

What's awesome is that its supposed to be funny, but it isn't. This is because Megan Fox lacks all comedic timing. While she is arguably a very gorgeous woman, sometimes, regrettably, you've gotta just shut up and smile when you don't have a funny bone in your body. Check out the PSA below, which points out how horrible high school can be (I'm sure it was a nightmare for petite, brown pretty Megan...)

Jennifer's Body, directed by Karyn Kusama (Aeon Flux, Girl Fight) opens the Midnight Madness section of the Toronto International Film Festival Sept 10-19th 2009.

Jennifer's Body tells the story of small-town high-school student Jennifer (Megan Fox) who is possessed by a hungry demon and transitions from being "high school evil"—gorgeous (and doesn't she know it), stuck up and ultra-attitudinal—to the real deal: evil/evil...
