Line #11 Trivia/JennifersBody


1	* ActorSharedBackground: Creator/MeganFox was a cheerleader in high school, like her character.
2	* AwesomeDearBoy: Creator/MeganFox admitted that she partially accepted the role of Jennifer because of the CrossesTheLineTwice dialogue, "to be able to say the shit that she got to say and get away with it."
3	* BillingDisplacement: Perhaps one of the most extreme example ever. Creator/AmandaSeyfried, who is the film's protagonist and appears onscreen at least as often as Creator/MeganFox, is scarcely mentioned in many reviews, which (whether approving or disapproving) wish only to talk about Fox and Creator/DiabloCody.
4	* CastTheRunnerUp: Kyle Gallner (Colin) was a close contender for Chip (Johnny Simmons), which is how he got the latter role.
5	* CompletelyDifferentTitle:
6	** Latin America: ''Diabolic Temptation''
7	** Brazil: ''Hell Girl''
8	** Greece: ''The Body That Kills''
9	** Hungary: ''Devil Hid in You''
10	** Poland: ''Deadly Body'', but it's a DoubleEntendre on sexy looks.
11	** Serbia: ''Dangerous Jennifer''
12	** Taiwan: ''Terribly Spicy''
13	** Turkey: ''I'm Thirsty for Blood''
14	* CreatorBacklash: While the cast and crew all defend how the film itself turned out, they hated how the marketing department resorted to framing it as a Creator/MeganFox {{Fanservice}} vehicle. Diablo Cody recalls sending an email to a studio executive after a disastrous test screening, asking for advice on how he felt the movie should be promoted - and the response was literally "Megan Fox Hot". Karyn Kasuma refused to ask Megan to participate in what she felt was a disgusting publicity stunt (see below). Megan later questioned why the studio ignored that she had a sizable female fan base and didn't bother marketing to them.
15	* CreatorBreakdown:
16	** Diablo Cody was really caught off guard by how the movie got eviscerated by fans and critics, admitting she had to go to therapy to deal with it afterwards. The backlash is what made her take time away from Hollywood to raise a family.
17	** Creator/MeganFox was also struggling with being in the public eye and her controversial exit from the ''Transformers'' franchise. She too went into therapy, and says this film's reception and the marketing relying entirely on her as MsFanservice exacerbated matters.
18	* CreatorKiller: Arguably for Creator/DiabloCody. Along with Creator/MeganFox's performance, reviewers zoned in on Cody's writing as the major flaw of the movie. She hasn't had any major budget films since.
19	* DawsonCasting: 23-year-olds Creator/MeganFox and Creator/AmandaSeyfried, and 22-year-old Creator/JohnnySimmons.
20	* DyeingForYourArt: Creator/MeganFox went down to 97 pounds to believably play a corpse, and stayed out of the sun to look pale.
21	* TheForeignSubtitle: Czech Republic: ''Jennifer's Body: Look Out, Baby!''
22	* MagnumOpusDissonance: Megan Fox calls this her favourite role, although she admits she doesn't have much in the way of choices.
23	--> "What else am I going to say? ''Film/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles\|2014}}''?" ''[[{{Corpsing}} <snickering>]]'' "''Film/{{Jonah Hex\|2010}}''?"
24	* MemeAcknowledgment: Creator/MeganFox is quite pleased that the shot of Jennifer holding a cigarette lighter to her tongue has become so gifable.
25	* NonSingingVoice: Adam Brody's singing was dubbed by Ryan Levine, who played another member of the band.
26	* PlayingWithCharacterType: Creator/MeganFox was most famous for shallow "hot girl" roles in ''Film/{{Transformers\|2007}}'', some of which suggested she was a FemmeFatale but mostly relegated her to ShallowLoveInterest. Jennifer Check, on the other hand, embodies the overt sexuality she was known for alongside being a predatory, evil man-eater.
27	* QueerCharacterQueerActor: Jennifer is almost certainly bi or a lesbian. Creator/MeganFox says she played her as a closeted lesbian, while she's bisexual herself.
28	* StarDerailingRole: It's easy to say the only person not affected by the critical failure of the film was Creator/AmandaSeyfried. Megan Fox's acting career went into a screeching halt, Diablo Cody lost her AuteurLicense and the film was supposed to be a comeback for Karyn Kusama after the already disastrous Film/AeonFlux.
29	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
30	** Creator/DiabloCody was intending to write a completely straight horror film, but found that comedic touches seeped into her writing "about a third of the way into the process" - finding some of the more macabre aspects of the film to be funny in a dark way.
31	** Producers considered [[CastTheExpert getting an actual rock star]] to play Nikolai, with [[Music/FallOutBoy Pete Wentz]] and [[Music/GoodCharlotte Joel Madden]] being the favorites. Ultimately, Creator/AdamBrody was cast instead. Before Brody was cast, Creator/JohnnySimmons was announced as playing Nikolai, but ended up in the role of Chip instead.
32	** Many actresses were tested for the role of Needy, with Diablo Cody revealing that Creator/EmmaStone was one of them (this would have been before her breakout role in ''Film/EasyA''). Creator/BlakeLively turned down the role due to her commitment to ''Series/GossipGirl'', while Creator/BrieLarson also auditioned for the part. Megan Fox, however, was always the first choice for Jennifer.
33	** The director claims that the marketing department had a truly bizarre notion of getting Megan Fox to do live chats with amateur porn sites. She refused to even ask Fox to do such a thing.
34	** Diablo Cody wanted to pitch ideas for a ''Jennifer's Body'' TV series, but people refused to even hear her pitch. Executives asked why anyone would make a series from a movie that failed. The writer reminded them of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.
35	* WordOfGay: Fox confirmed that she played Jennifer as a deeply closeted lesbian.
