The Vomit shot out of Megan Fox like water from a geyser. A ghastly movie concoction that looked like a mix of used motor oil, lawn clippings and the slag at the bottom of a Souplantation trash bin, 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 more gothic scenes in Jennifer’s Body, a closing battle with fewer rules than Ultimate Fighting, pitting Jennifer (Transformer’s Fox) against her longtime friend Needy Lesnicky (Seyfried, of Mamma Mia!) and her relatively wimpy boyfriend Chip Dove (Evan Almighty’s Simmons). The movie’s swimming pool location, inside a derelict juvenile hall slated to become a hospital for British Columbia’s criminally insane, was forbidding in its own right. The flotsam in the pool’s filthy water — leaves, a wheelchair, beer cans — made the entire setting for the film stomach-turning, especially since the young actors had to swim in it.

Amanda Seyfried will follow Mamma Mia! with a starring gig in Dear John, the Lasse Hallstrom-directed adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks bestseller.

Seyfried joins Channing Tatum in the pic and will play a young woman who meets and falls in love with a soldier while he’s on leave.

Jamie Linden wrote the script.

Relativity is fully financing the film, which begins shooting Oct. 13 in South Carolina. Screen Gems will distribute domestically.

Relativity’s Ryan Kavanaugh will produce with Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, the Temple Hill partner who developed the film under their New Line deal and then enlisted Relativity when that distributor was absorbed by Warner Bros. Relativity’s Tucker Tooley will be executive producer.

Jennifer’s Body Advance Review

Over at JoBlo.com you can check out the first advance screening review of Jennifer’s Body… And it ain’t good. See the site to read the full review. Here’s an excerpt concerning Amanda’s performance:

The film’s performances are pretty decent. Seyfried does as good as one could to hold up the film even though it’s this bad. Megan wasn’t horrifyingly bad but neither was she good. There was a scene where it’s a real big close up of her kissing another chick (YES!!!!). The men in the audience hooted and cheered even though it was completely random and the director put it in as a a kind of apology for not giving up the real goods (no Megan Fox boobage).

Honestly, who cares if the reviews are bad. I personally LOVED Juno and the reviewer apparently didn’t. Jennifer’s Body is my most awaited film of the moment and I’m sure it’ll make me happy, even if it doesn’t please the Juno hating crowd and others who simply don’t get the awesomeness of Diablo Cody.
