The latest issue of Empire features the first set of stills featuring Amanda Seyfried in the Karyn Kusama directed/Diablo Cody written horror-comedy Jennifer’s Body! I am really dying to see this movie, these stills made my day! The movie releases September 18, 2009.
When a gorgeous cheerleader is possessed by a demon and starts feeding off the boys in a small Minnesota farming town, her “plain Jane” best friend must kill her, then escape from a correctional facility to go after the Satan-worshipping rock band responsible for the horrible transformation.
Actress Megan Fox recently gave MTV a bit of information about Jennifer’s Body which is coming out soon and also stars Amanda. Anybody who is excited for the film should check it out for a bit of information about the characters and plot.
“I’m a man-eater. I eat boys. I’m sort of a zombie, but not really. I get improperly sacrificed [and it possesses me]… my character is a frighteningly vapid high school girl who’s captain of her flag team.”
“She gets improperly sacrificed by Adam Brody’s band, who have sold their souls to Satan in order to get a record deal,” Fox laughed. “And what happens when you improperly sacrifice someone is the victim gets taken over by a demon. They thought I was a virgin — and I was not a virgin.”

Summit Entertainment has set Amanda Seyfried, Vanessa Redgrave, Gael Garcia Bernal and Franco Nero to star in Letters to Juliet, the Gary Winick-directed film that begins production June 25 in Italy, reports ComingSoon.net.
The film is based on a book by Lise and Ceil Friedman about the letters written by the lovelorn to star-crossed lover Juliet Capulet.
The story follows a couple (Seyfried, Garcia) who take a trip to Italy and receive a note meant for Juliet written by a woman (Redgrave) searching for a young man who romanced her during a long-ago vacation in Italy. The young woman scours Tuscany to find the older woman’s long-lost love (Nero). Jose Rivera wrote the script with Tim Sullivan.
