Diablo Cody News

Diablo Cody understands the movie goers that line up for a cute story about a knocked up teenager might not be the same that buy tickets for a vampire film.

That's why the screenwriter has admitted to The Los Angeles Times that Jennifer's Body is a risky follow-up to Juno. Still, she just couldn't resist the story.

"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.

"My biggest priority is putting words in women's mouths - it just doesn't happen. Women don't get the good lines. They don't get to do anything. And they don't get to be reckless. And I've always been reckless."

Diablo Cody is seen here with Jennifer's Body star Megan Fox.

So far, the main attention paid to Jennifer's Body has been due to the rumors that Megan Fox gets naked in the film.

But writer Diablo Cody - who penned the upcoming horror movie as a follow-up to Juno - recently explained other aspects of the flick.

"This is a horror movie. Not to sound like a pretentious douchebag, but it's a horror movie made by filmmakers, by people who genuinely love film," Cody said to ShockTillYouDrop.com on the Vancouver set.

"Karyn Kusama is a total horror geek, I'm a horror geek, the producers are into this stuff. This was not a mercenary effort to make it seem like something that fit a profile.

We wanted to make a horror movie and we're totally respectful of the films that come before us and I think people will see that in the finish product."

In the wake of Juno's incredible success, everyone can't wait for the follow-up movie from screen writer Diablo Cody. Well, here it is:

The movie is called Jennifer's Body, and will likely mark the first appearance of Megan Fox since her Transformers breakthrough this past summer.

The flick is described as a Heathers-type dark comedy, telling the story of a seemingly-perfect cheerleader whose life is thrown into disarray when she gets possessed by a demon, begins eating boys in her small Minnesota town, then faces off against her best friend and the Satan-worshipping band that made her evil.

Naturally.

"It's a horror movie, and it's also about teenagers," explained Cody. "It's a lot darker [than Juno], and it also has comedic elements. Horror is my favorite genre - and like Juno, I like horror movies."

"I think the interesting thing about adolescence is it's a time when your emotions are totally heightened," Cody said of the subtext she's attempting to capture. "There's so much potential for comedy, tragedy, melodrama, horror, whatever."
