'Jennifer's Body' Sequel Discussions Gain Momentum as Cult Status Grows

Amanda Seyfried and Diablo Cody express enthusiasm for revisiting the feminist horror-comedy, citing missteps in its original marketing and its enduring appeal.

Amanda Seyfried has criticized the original marketing campaign for 'Jennifer's Body,' stating it misrepresented the film as a 'gory romp' and contributed to its poor box office performance.
The 2009 film, directed by Karyn Kusama and written by Diablo Cody, has since gained a cult following for its feminist themes and satirical approach to the horror genre.
Seyfried described the movie as 'perfect,' praising its bold storytelling, strong special effects, and the creative team behind it, including co-star Megan Fox.
Both Seyfried and Cody have expressed interest in a sequel, with Cody stating she is ready to revisit the project if the right team is assembled.
The resurgence of interest in the film reflects broader cultural shifts toward reexamining underappreciated works with feminist and queer themes.
