SDCC ’09: New ‘Jennifer’s Body’ Image, Gallner Talks Scene!
20th Century Fox’s Jennifer’s Body is getting some heavy love at the San Diego Comic Con, and part of it includes this spicy new photo of stars Megan Fox and Johnny Simmons getting it on. In addition to the brand new photo, beyond the break you’ll find our exclusive chat with co-star Kyle Gallner about another scene, but beware of spoilers! The story of a cheerleader who is possessed by a demon and starts feeding off the boys in a Minnesota farming town. Her “plain Jane” best friend must kill her, then escape from a correctional facility to go after the Satan-worshiping rock band responsible for the transformation.
Spoiler warning in text
“I have just a little supporting role, a little character cameo,” Gallner tells Bloody-Disgusting about his forthcoming role in JENNIFER’S BODY, which arrives in theaters September 18th.
“Megan Fox gets sacrificed to some virgin, but she’s not a virgin; so she’s comes back. Then she starts eating boys, it’s pretty cut and dry (laughs),” he explains. “But it was a fun script, and my character’s a fucking weirdo The term goth is very heavily on my character. Full on goth, lip ring, black hair, crazy clothes,” adding a spoiler about his demise, “Megan eats me! We made out, she drops my pants. She comes at me, and kills me. It’s pretty cool.”
It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!
We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!
Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.
“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.
Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”
Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”
In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
