Legacy sequels, reboots, and delayed follow-up installments are extremely commonplace in the world of horror filmmaking and it sounds like “Jennifer’s Body,” a cult horror film that ended up becoming quite popular long after its theatrical release, is potentially getting a second installment over fifteen years later.
Written by Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (“Juno”) it was helmed by Karyn Kusama and released by 20th Century Studios (formerly 20th Century Fox), which paired actresses Amanda Seyfried and Megan Fox with the latter being comically sacrificed (by a character played by Adam Brody) only to be resurrected as a demonic entity that starts feeding on her male classmates.
An update of sorts is now coming from Seyfried, the actress recently told a fan (via TikTok and spotted by Bloody Disgusting), “I think we’re making another one…I didn’t confirm it! I said, ‘I think’,” she winked. “We’re working on it!”
It’s not 100% confirmation but it’s certainly a good start for those pining for another horror romp from Cody.
While the film made an impression with horror films at release in 2009, it sadly fizzled out at the box office only mustering $31.5 million globally on a reported budget of $16 million (marketing and distribution costs hampering its profitability despite nearly earning double the production costs). Since then the pic has been rediscovered and has developed a bit of a cult following over the years.
This could greatly explain the reason why we haven’t got a sequel sooner.
Interestingly enough, Cody’s other horror attempt, “Lisa Frankenstein,” which Zelda Williams directed is said to be set in the same cinematic universe as “Jennifer’s Body.” Perhaps, a crossover could be in the cards? We shouldn’t rule it out.
