In an interview withGQ , Amanda Seyfried smash down her most iconic characters — include her leading role in theDiablo Cody - writtenJennifer ’s Bodyopposite Megan Fox . The moving picture , directed byKaryn Kusama , was n’t an instant hit but over the years since its 2009 sack has built up a solid cult fandom that’spropelling talk of the town of a sequel .
In the interview , Seyfried express her love for the picture and its universe .
“ I ca n’t review this moving picture . It ’s a sodding moving picture . It ’s got orchis . Diablo Cody was blunt and beautiful and sassy and shady . And we were expressing a certain angst in a very , very specific comedic way in a very specific music genre . God , the particular effects were so unbelievable , ” she call back . “ There [ were ] stunt . There was like everything that you could desire and little girl on girl action . ”

Jennifer ’s Bodywasn’t exactlymarketed to its right audience — angsty teenager girls — and Seyfried is well aware of how that worked against the film back in 2009 .
“ If the critics criticized anything , it would be the marketing . The marketing suck . It just did and we all agree . Karyn is like a fierce exponent of women in storytelling , ” Seyfried say . “ She is capable to enhance the kinship between adult female on film and TV . She ’s able to mine everything she can and she ’s very , very human and she ’s very sensible . But I felt like she cared profoundly about this news report underneath all of it . She just got it all and she put it together so beautifully and the merchandising team cheapened it like it was just , you have sex , a romp , a gory romp . I think they ruined it and I think that Karyn and Diablo were a really practiced squad . And Megan and I are a really good team . ”
gratefully the film was revisited and found innocent of the moving-picture show crime moving-picture show bros accuse it of , and has since gain a cult adopt . It deserved its welcome as that era ’s entry into the pantheon of “ puberty as a freak ” musical genre films likeGinger Snapsbefore it . Could a subsequence offerJennifer ’s Bodythe ultimate redemption ? Seyfried hopes so .
“ I ’m looking onward to the sequel , ” she tell . “ They ’re work on it . I already said thumbs up . I was like , whenever you ’re ready , I ’m quick . Because I require to play [ an adult version of my graphic symbol ] Needy . I sleep together Needy . It also was the first time I cause to play really nerdy , and Megan get to turn into a crashing devil . And it was awful . We all just had a lot of merriment . So I want to celebrate it by doing the sequel . ”
Seyfried riffle on where she thought Needy might ’ve ended up . “ I just need to see Needy in a power position . Not necessarily in a power suit but in a power position . You love , maybe she runs her limb at Planned Parenthood or something . She ’s a badass . ”
But how can you have aJennifer ’s Bodysequel without Megan Fox ’s Jennifer ? After all , Needy stabbed her in the tit , er , heart at the end of the film . To that end , Seyfried teased , “ And I do n’t know , where would Megan be ? She ’s probably like somebody ’s boss of stave . But she ’s kind of utter , right?But is she?I do n’t consider she is . ”
If Needy ended up being an undependable teller of the events of the film and turned out to be the Will Graham to Jennifer ’s Hannibal , we would be so dead . It would perfectly conform to into the theories that abound the unspoken tension between them in their toxic family relationship , and we could see that being enchanting to explore now that they ’re long out of high schooltime . Disney take to make this pass and have Jennifer return as the Devil ’s Kettle local stamping ground legend .
