Cult film classics are not always born overnight. “Blade Runner,” for example, was a flop upon its initial release in 1982, but today it is considered one of the greatest science fiction films of all time. Another title that has gained popularity over the years is “Jennifer’s Body.” And now, more than 15 years later, a belated sequel, “Jennifer’s Body 2,” is actually in the works.

“Jennifer’s Body 2” Promises to Be “Crazy”

The horror comedy starring Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried was released in 2009 and initially turned out to be both a commercial and artistic flop. In hindsight, many, including the stars, agree that the marketing failed and misrepresented the film, as Seyfried explained in an interview with “Deadline.” Over the years, however, the film has achieved cult status.

As “Deadline” learned in a new conversation with director Karyn Kusama, “Jennifer’s Body 2” is now in development. Screenwriter Diablo Cody (Oscar for “Juno”) is reportedly working on the sequel after the first installment. Kusama already knows some details, but she is not ready to reveal them yet.

“But it sounds entertaining and crazy like the first part,” she added. “And I have no doubt that Diablo will do something absolutely incredible with it.”

Which Stars Will Return?

At this point, it is still unclear which, if any, of the original stars will return for “Jennifer’s Body 2.” Amanda Seyfried has already expressed interest in participating in a sequel. Whether lead actress Megan Fox will return is unknown.

In the original, her character, Jennifer, is dead at the end, so she would have to be brought back to life somehow. But what would “Jennifer’s Body 2” be without the real Jennifer? It also remains unclear for now whether Karyn Kusama will return to the director’s chair.

“Jennifer’s Body” is about Jennifer, who has few friends but is popular with men because of her looks. One day, a rock band comes to town and plans to sacrifice Jennifer to the devil to finally achieve success. What they don’t know: The girl is actually a bloodthirsty demon.
