Oh man. This is just too good. Diablo Cody, who is the talk of the town for making a movie that literally turns my stomach [Juno], is reportedly working on her next "opus." I have no expectations for this, aside from it being far less blatantly offensive, and possibly the most unintentionally funny thing to ever be released by a Hollywood studio.
Where to start? Where to start?
The movie, Jennifer's Body, reportedly involves a cheerleader [rumored to be played by Amanda Seyfried or Megan Fox, depending on what site you read] who gets possessed by... wait for it... a Satanic emo band. Said Satanic emo band possesses the girl and makes her kill her male classmates.
No, you didn't read that wrong. Someone is spending time writing a movie about a Satanic emo band that possesses a cheerleader and turns her into a killing machine. It's sort of like My Demon Lover for a new generation, I suspect.
Now, you can't have a movie about a Satanic emo band without a male star to play the role of the evil monster who turns this average girl into a balls to the wall murderess. Who is being considered for the role? According to Chud.com, which is pretty damned accurate on horror movie news: Pete Wentz. Other people being considered are Joel Madden and Chad Michael Murray, but... somehow, you know Pete is going to get the role.
I'm pretty sure that will seal the deal on the world's funniest movie, because I think you'd be hard pressed to get even the most die-hard Fall Out Boy fan to argue or claim that Pete is a good actor. Imagine a good 90 minutes of his acting, on a big screen, playing a demonic, Satanic emo band singer? Yep. I know it's one of the most awful ideas in the history of the universe, but at the same time? I can't wait to see it. IMDB has it listed as in pre-production, with a release date of 2009.
I wonder who they'll get to play the rest of the big bad band... speculation, anyone?
