Diablo Cody Plans Jennifer's Body

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."
