Unless you want to plunk down more cash for Transformers, best to put away your Megan Fox obsession until this September, when she play’s the titular body, encasing a demon who eats high school boys.

Yes, this is the Diablo Cody follow-up-feature to Juno, this time lending her snappy witticisms to the horror genre as a rock band somehow leads to Megan Fox possessed as Amanda Seyfried tries to stop her.

Director Karyn Kusama, Cody and producer Jason Reitman gave a Red Band trailer to ShockTillYouDrop.com with the following note (possibly carved into the flesh of the unfortunate messenger):

“Fox is putting a trailer of Jennifer’s Body in front of Bruno this Friday. Great, right? Only problem is it’s not our trailer. It’s kind of a straight horror preview and while we’re sure it’ll appeal to many of you, we wanted to make sure you guys got to see our cut… Lets call it the “filmmaker’s cut”. We think it captures the comedy and scares of the horror films we grew up on – a kind of nostalgia for when horror films were fun. Can’t wait to show you the whole film… In the meantime, here’s the red band trailer we wanted our fans to see.”

Megan Fox’s Bloody Jennifer’s Body

Film School Rejects has some hi-resolution photos from Jennifer’s Body, the Diablo Cody-penned horror flick starring Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried. In the film, Megan Fox plays Jennifer, a cheerleader who is sort of a Heather/Plastic/Ice Queen until she is possessed by a demon and starts to eat her classmates. Amanda Seyfried plays the plain and unmemorable best friend of Jennifer, who has to save the day.

This film got a large boost in internet buzz when, soon after Cody took home the Oscar for Juno’s screenplay and post-Transformers 1 Megan Fox-mind-gasm, pictures were leaked of Megan Fox emerging from a lake nearly topless (pasties only, folks). I’m guessing you’ve seen these photos, but for those who haven’t seen it…well, Google “Megan Fox topless,” it’s the first result.

Since, the Megan Fox and Diablo Cody obsession factors have lowered, with word-of-mouth occasionally turning on them. It’s interesting, though not uncommon, to see two female stars go through such scrutiny and changes in perception completely independently of each other or the movie they made together, Jennifer’s Body. The flick has to be good on it’s own merits, sure, but its opening weekend (this September) could potentially be affected by the public personas of both these women.

Emily Browning replaces Amanda Seyfried in Sucker Punch

Emily Browning will be replacing Amanda Seyfried in Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch according to Hollywood Insider. Seyfried had received an offer to play the lead role as an insane asylum inmate who loses herself in a fantasy world where she dreams about escaping with her fellow inmates, but she had to decline due to scheduling conflicts with the fourth season of Big Love.

Browning is probably best known for playing Violet in Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. Since then it looks like she has been focusing on getting an education and apparently turned down the role of Bella in Twilight. Now it seems she is getting back into the whole acting business with The Uninvited, which is being released next month, and now Sucker Punch.

Evan Rachel Wood, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, and Emma Stone are all still in talks to costar, and filming is expected to take place later this year.

With Watchmen getting closer to it’s release date, director Zack Snyder is setting up his next movie, Sucker Punch. Amanda Seyfried (Mama Mia), Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical), Abbie Cornish (Stop-Loss), Evan Rachel Wood (The Wrestler), and Emma Stone (Superbad) are in talks to join the all-female cast.

From THR:

Set in the 1950s, “Punch” follows a girl who is confined to a mental institution by her stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days. While there, she imagines an alternative reality to hide her from the pain, and in that world, she begins planning her escape, needing to steal five objects to help get her out before she is deflowered by a vile man.
Seyfried would play Babydoll, the institutionalized girl. If deals are completed, the rest would play Seyfried’s fellow inmates who also travel into the alternate reality. Hudgens would play a character named Blondie, Cornish would play Sweet Pea, and Wood would play Rocket.
Snyder, who co-wrote the script with Steve Shibuya, has described the fantasy world as ” ‘Alice in Wonderland’ with machine guns,” blending such elements as dragons, B-52 bombers and brothels.

Sucker Punch has a release date of October 2010, however filming schedules are still being sorted out.
