While a lot of press hitting the web indicate that the nudity in Jennifer's Body has been removed, a new interview from the set of the film reveals that we can still cross our fingers for plenty of blood and (black) guts. Inside you'll find word from writer Diablo Cody who also talks about the story behind the film, and how misunderstood the characters are. Starring Megan Fox, the film is 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.
"The vomit shot out of Megan Fox like water from a geyser. The black puke sprayed actors Amanda Seyfried and Johnny Simmons, whose characters were doing their best to fight off a cannibalistic fiend, an otherwise popular cheerleader named Jennifer Check."
It was among the gothic scenes witnessed on the set of JENNIFER'S BODY by The Star, where Jennifer (Transformers' Fox) was being pitt against longtime friend Needy Lesnicky (Seyfried, of Mamma Mia!) and her wimpy boyfriend Chip Dove (Evan Almighty's Simmons).
During the set visit, The Star scored all sorts of juicy tid-bits, such as the metaphor behind JENNIFER'S BODY.
"I am directly influenced by girls I have known," Cody said. "Girls who treated life as a race, and if there was someone or something they wanted, they would stab you in the back. It's a movie about hunger. A lot of teenage girls are starving themselves and a lot of them are psychologically hungry, because they are so misunderstood."
Cody also talked a bit about the oddity of the script.
"I think the script flummoxes some people," Cody said. "It's a little weird, not what you're used to."
In fact, she said, she's "worried" about how Jennifer's Body might be received.
"Juno is a life-affirming movie," Cody said. "And this is a death-affirming movie. The people who really loved Juno – I don't know if they will love this in the same way. And the people who hated Juno – well, this will just be more grist for the mill."

i've been thinking this sounds incredibly lame (not knowing what the plot/story was about.) but after reading this i'm kinda interested now. i agree w/ Acronin689, that it could go either way and be a total cheesefest or a cool gory posession film. then again, weren't they going for a PG-13 rating? if they are, it WILL be a cheesefest. you can't have a story about a girl who feeds off of boys and NOT show any blood or grue.
Okay so it's going to be R if it's really gory -- but they feel they need to remove the nudity? Did Megan Fox change her policy on nudity or something? Can someone fill me in?
Cody is rather pretentious but i still enjoyed juno when i saw it the first time, second viewing makes it clear that Cody knows her stuff but the dialogue was way too forced. As for Fox, yeah she's hot but we'll see how good her acting chops are sooner or later, fuck it i'd rather see her poon than her acting skills.
I don't understand the reports of nudity being removed.
Those pictures that came out before...she wasn't nude! So if they're removing nudity, it won't be Fox's tits they're removing anyway, since she had pasties or whatever on in the pictures I saw...
I can´t fucking wait! I need a trailer or something cause I am literally starving for this one, my most anticipated horror movie of 2009 (or 2008 for that matter). I LOVED Juno and the writer, cast, story and Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried really got me interested and I just CANNOT wait. But this movie could go either way either be the most kick ass horror (comedy) movie for the last few years or just be an epic cheesefest of a mess.
