“I’m very excited to hear what comes of it,” Karyn told Deadline ahead of her upcoming reunion with star Megan Fox for a special Jennifer’s Body screening at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on Saturday (October 25).
“I know some of the bones of it, so I’m not going to give anything away, but it sounds fun and crazy like the first film. And I have no doubt that Diablo will do something absolutely incredible with it,” she added.
Karyn also reflected on the movie’s renewed popularity in recent years. The horror comedy even got a playful nod on Benito Skinner‘s Prime Video comedy Overcompensating where Megan made a cameo appearance.
“For the part of me that has a healthy ego that I try to keep in check, to have Jennifer’s Body be like the antidote to another classic film that I worship,” the Girlfight director said. “But the idea that Jennifer’s Body would be somebody’s Godfather, that just tickles me all the way down to my toes.”
Amanda Seyfried, who co-starred with Megan in the 2009 movie, previously confirmed that a sequel is in the works.
