Amanda Seyfried Thinks Megan Fox’s Character Sur...

In an interview with GQ, Amanda Seyfried broke down her most iconic characters—together with her main function within the Diablo Cody-written Jennifer’s Body reverse Megan Fox. The movie, directed by Karyn Kusama, wasn’t an on the spot hit however through the years since its 2009 launch has constructed up a stable cult fandom that’s propelling talk of a sequel.

Within the interview, Seyfried expressed her love for the movie and its universe.

“I can’t critique this film. It’s an ideal film. It’s acquired balls. Diablo Cody was outspoken and exquisite and sensible and humorous. And we have been expressing a sure angst in a really, very particular comedic means in a really particular style. God, the particular results have been so unbelievable,” she remembered. “There [were] stunts. There was like every part that you can need and lady on lady motion.”

Jennifer’s Physique wasn’t precisely marketed to its correct audience—angsty teen women—and Seyfried is effectively conscious of how that labored towards the movie again in 2009.

“If the critics criticized something, it might be the advertising. The advertising sucked. It simply did and all of us agree. Karyn is sort of a fierce advocate of ladies in storytelling,” Seyfried stated. “She is ready to improve the relationships between ladies on movie and TV. She’s in a position to mine every part she will be able to and she or he’s very, very human and she or he’s very delicate. However I felt like she cared deeply about this story beneath all of it. She simply acquired all of it and she or he put it collectively so superbly and the advertising workforce cheapened it prefer it was simply, you already know, a romp, a gory romp. I feel they ruined it and I feel that Karyn and Diablo have been a very good workforce. And Megan and I are a very good workforce.”

Fortunately the movie was revisited and located harmless of the movie crimes film bros accused it of, and has since gained a cult following. It deserved its welcome as that period’s entry into the pantheon of “puberty as a monster” style movies like Ginger Snaps earlier than it. Might a sequel supply Jennifer’s Physique the last word redemption? Seyfried hopes so.

“I’m wanting ahead to the sequel,” she stated. “They’re engaged on it. I already stated thumbs up. I used to be like, everytime you’re prepared, I’m prepared. As a result of I need to play [an adult version of my character] Needy. I like Needy. It additionally was the primary time I acquired to play actually nerdy, and Megan acquired to show right into a fucking demon. And it was superior. All of us simply had quite a lot of enjoyable. So I need to have a good time it by doing the sequel.”

Seyfried riffed on the place she thought Needy may’ve ended up. “I simply need to see Needy in an influence place. Not essentially in an influence go well with however in an influence place. You recognize, perhaps she runs her department at Deliberate Parenthood or one thing. She’s a badass.”

However how will you have a Jennifer’s Physique sequel with out Megan Fox’s Jennifer? In spite of everything, Needy stabbed her within the tit, er, coronary heart on the finish of the movie. To that finish, Seyfried teased, “And I don’t know, the place would Megan be? She’s in all probability like someone’s chief of employees. However she’s form of lifeless, proper? However is she? I don’t suppose she is.”

If Needy ended up being an unreliable narrator of the occasions of the movie and turned out to be the Will Graham to Jennifer’s Hannibal, we’d be so lifeless. It could completely match into the theories that abound the unstated rigidity between them of their poisonous relationship, and we may see that being fascinating to discover now that they’re lengthy out of highschool. Disney must make this occur and have Jennifer return because the Satan’s Kettle native hang-out legend.
