Megan Fox stuns at Jennifer’s Body screening as Diablo Cody works on sequel script

Megan Fox reunited with director Karyn Kusama at Jennifer’s Body screening

Megan Fox made a rare public appearance in Los Angeles over the weekend, captivating fans with a bold, blood-inspired ensemble at a special screening of her 2009 cult horror film Jennifer’s Body. The event, held at the Academy Museum on Saturday, featured a Q&A session with Fox and the film’s director, Karyn Kusama, as they reflected on the movie’s growing legacy.

Clips and photos from the evening quickly circulated online, with fans praising Fox’s striking look and celebrating her reunion with Kusama. Social media posts from outlets like Celluloid Dreams and Times of Cinema highlighted the duo’s appearance and reignited discussion about the enduring influence of Jennifer’s Body.

The screening also brought exciting news for fans of the cult classic. According to reports, screenwriter Diablo Cody — who wrote the original film following her success with Juno — is currently developing a sequel script. Cody has previously expressed her affection for the project, saying in a 2024 interview, “Nothing makes me happier than when someone tells me they love this movie.”

Originally released in 2009, Jennifer’s Body stars Fox as Jennifer Check, a high school cheerleader possessed by a demon who preys on her male classmates. Her best friend, Anita “Needy” Lesnicki, played by Amanda Seyfried, must stop her rampage. Though the film initially received mixed reviews and modest box office returns, it has since been reappraised as a feminist horror-comedy with sharp social commentary.

The reunion between Fox and Kusama underscored the film’s evolving cultural significance, particularly its exploration of female friendship and empowerment. With a sequel reportedly in development, anticipation is building for the possible return of Jennifer Check and the continuation of her story.
