Megan Fox Stars in
Jennifer's Body. Movie Trailer and News.
Megan Fox is known for three things: fighting killer robots along
side Shia LeBeouf in two "Transformers" movies; dating
Brian Austin Green; and looking really good at movie premieres. In
the past month, with the release of "Transformers: Revenge of
the Fallen," the hype surrounding Fox has reached a fever pitch
and clearly she's growing restless with being pigeon-holed as Tinseltown's
latest action-flick hottie. Last week, she complained to EW that "working
with Michael Bay is not about an acting experience." Bay
promptly retorted in an interview with The Wall Street Journal,
saying Fox says some very ridiculous things
because she's 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to
do."
Both of course are true. In spite of Bay's protestations, no one
ever went to one of his flicks for the Oscar-worthy performances;
they go to see stuff get blown up. And Fox is young and does have
a surprisingly thin resume considering her buzz. Since Bay tapped
her for the first "Transformers" movie in '07, she's only
appeared in two movies and those were both just supporting roles.
But that's about to change. For the first time, Megan Fox is set
to open a movie in this fall's horror comedy "Jennifer's Body" where
she plays a cheerleader possessed by a boy-hating demon.
Though she has a few more in production, including "Jonah Hex" opposite
Josh Brolin, "Jennifer's Body" could be a make-or-break
for Fox. If the movie is a success and critics dig her performance,
then she might very well become the next Angelina Jolie. If this
movie tanks, then she could start to spiral down towards Hollywood
has-been. Of course,
this movie does have one other major asset: Diablo Cody who penned "Jennifer's
Body" and also who won Oscar gold for writing "Juno." Judging
from trailer, there's plenty of the same snappy pop-culture infused
dialogue that made Cody's previous yarn memorable.
