The horror movie Jennifer’s Bodyfrom the director of the director Karyn Kusama and the screenwriter Diablo Cody, a sequel is in the workssixteen years later to its theatrical release.
Misunderstood by many upon its launch in 2009, the horror project has gone from strength to strength, reaching cult status, even managing to put script for a sequel in development.
According to Kusama's statements to Deadline, Cody is working on a script, with a “fun and crazy” idea:
“I know he's working on it right nowand I'm very excited to see what will come of it. I know part of the structure, so I'm not going to give anything away, but it sounds fun and crazy, like the first movie. And I have no doubt that Diablo will do something absolutely incredible with her“.
After a difficult release in 2009, Kusama said she was “very grateful that the film found its audience” with its current cult status.
“For the part of me that has a healthy ego that I try to control, Jennifer's Body is like the antidote to another classic movie that I adore. But the idea of Jennifer's Body being someone's godfather excites me deeply.”
Kusama's comment is in reference to the wink that Overcompensating of Prime Video makes the movie.
In 2024, Cody stated his desire to make a sequel, telling Bloody Disgusting:
“YES! I want to make a sequel. I'm not done with Jennifer's Body. I just need to find… I need to associate with people who believe in it as much as I do and that hasn't happened yet. “I need someone who believes in it and has a billion dollars.”
The plot of the original film follows a newly possessed high school cheerleader who becomes a succubus who specializes in killing her male classmates. In our market it was titled Diabolical temptation.
They starred in it Amanda Seyfried y Megan Foxas Anita “Needy” Lesnicki, and Jennifer, respectively.
In recent months, Seyfried addressed the topic of the sequel, stating that it is being worked on:
“I think we're going to do another one. I didn't confirm it! I said, 'I think.' (winks his eye). “We are working on it.”
Although it is a 2009 film, we released a SPOILER ALERT in case you haven't seen it, to talk about the end of Jennifer’s Body.
In the conclusion, Needy acquires some of Jennifer's demonic powers, and Jennifer, in turn, presumably dies. And since this is horror cinema, anything can happen and Jennifer could return, it's a matter of the script justifying it and Fox showing interest in reprising what she calls her “favorite role.”
In addition to Seyfried and Fox, the cast of Jennifer’s Body includes Adam Brody, Chris Pratt, Johnny Simmons, Kyle Gallner, Amy Sedarisy J.K. Simmons.
