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.

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 Megan’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.

Somebody just got very excited! Check out the deliciously wicked new teaser art for Jennifer’s Body! I’ll admit the poster isn’t the most original but get your attention it does! Also check out this err, interesting quote from Amanda Seyfried from a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly. :wink:

“We make out in one scene [in Jennifer's Body]. That’ll probably be the trailer, in slo-mo.” – Amanda Seyfried on a scene with Megan Fox

Megan Fox had to gain weight for her next film – after her director deemed her too skinny.

“I had to put on size for Transformers II because [director] Michael [Bay] doesn’t like skinny girls,” Fox, 22, said. “I had three weeks to gain weight, and I put on 10 lbs.”

The actress, who said she got “really scrawny” for her role in the upcoming zombie film Jennifer’s Body, indulged in some of her favorite foods to gain back her curves: “You know Doughboys?” she asked of the trendy Hollywood eatery. “They make that red velvet cake. I seriously have that every night before I go to bed.”

“I don’t really eat that healthy,” added the actress, who talked to reporters at FOX’s Television Critics Association party July 14 (she attended with boyfriend Brian Austin Green, who stars in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles). “I have a really bad sugar tooth.”

Last month, Megan was crowned “The Sexiest Woman on The Planet” in FHM magazine, and for their July 2008 issue their is a ‘new’ spread devoted entirely to the Fox. While it’s a 2005 photoshoot, it did publish some never before seen pics! Thanks to Panda39 at Celebutopia for the scans!

Diablo Cody is a woman who needs very little in the way of introduction. After all, the stripper-turned-scripter was making plenty of headlines before winning the Oscar for Juno. These days, she’s downright unbiquitous. But despite all the mainstream attention she’s received, Cody’s continously stated that one of her biggest goals is to make a horror film. That’s one goal that Cody can now scratch off her list–with Jennifer’s Body (directed by Karyn Kusama and starring Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, and Adam Brody) having competed its principal photography in Vancouver just last week. We were fortunate enough to visit the film’s set just a few days before filming wrapped, and we spoke with Cody about how Jennifer’s Body reflects her undying love for the horror films she grew up with…

Everyone [on set] was telling us how they were inspired by the great horror films of the 80s–what are some of the worst horror films that have inspired you?

I would never say such a thing, because I feel that bad horror movies are edifying in their own way. Y’know it’s interesting…that’s a tough question. I guess I don’t consider any of them bad because it’s hard for me to say objectively what’s bad, what’s tacky. Horror is inherently tacky, it’s a garish genre–which is why I love it. I think some of the later Nightmare films got pretty bizarre–at that point Freddy was just a character, he had stopped being a shadowy boogeyman and had become this stand-up comedian. And you rooted for him, it kind of switched the perspective. So it was corny but really cool. Those were my favorite movies when I was little.

If you compared Jennifer’s Body to a certain film, what would it be?

Oh my God! That’s such a good question. The Virgin Suicides, Suspiria, Creepshow, Carrie, Just One of the Guys, or Ginger Snaps.

After writing the script, did you in your mind see this as being akin to a certain type of horror movie, and now that it’s shot do you see the same way, or as a different sort of film?

I think, yeah, when I first wrote it I had intended for it to be gorier and maybe exploitative, a little more lurid; and the thing is there’s such talented people involved outside of myself that I think it’s become more atmospheric and a little creepier and maybe a little more high-brow–which is cool. Like Rosemary’s Baby, one of my favorite movies, which is kind of the definition of the art-house horror movie.

JoBlo.com visited the set of Jennifer’s Body this week and will have a full set report up soon, can’t wait! They did, however, post a brief preview of what’s to come. Unfortunately Megan herself skipped the interview tent.

On set Cody talked her love for bad horror movies saying “I feel like bad horror movies are edifying in their own way. Horror is sort of a inherently tacky. It’s a garish genre and that’s why I love it because I am a garish individual.” Cody then goes on to use the following movies as the recipe to make Jennifer’s Body: The Virgin Suicides, Suspiria, Just One of the Guys, Creepshow, Carrie, and Ginger Snaps. Cody definitely shared her thoughts on her first attempt at horror and also mentioned a possible future romantic comedy.

Also on set was producer Jason Reitman, who besides showing some serious love for JoBlo.com, supported his production partner Cody. He compared the script for Jennifer’s Body to Juno this way: “[It] took teenagers seriously. There was a warmth to it… Recently, most horror films I see kind of fall in two categories: either kind of gore and decimation or this world of really cold horror films that have sprung from The Ring.” Reitman went on to talk about his love for Diablo’s genius as well as touch on some of his future projects.
