Amanda Seyfried slams ‘Jennifer’s Body’ marketing team who ‘ruined’ the film

Amanda Seyfried is pointing fingers.

In a new GQ interview, the 39-year-old actress revealed who she blames for “Jennifer’s Body” flopping at the box office when it came out in 2009.

“If the critics criticize anything, it would be the marketing. The marketing sucked, it just did,” she said. “And we all agree.”

Seyfried, who starred in the comedy horror film alongside Megan Fox, said the movie’s marketing team “cheapened it like it was just a gory romp.”

“I think they ruined it,” she added, noting that director Karyn Kusama and screenwriter Diablo Cody “were a really good team.”

“I love Needy. It was the first time I got to play really nerdy, wearing the glasses,” Seyfried continued. “Megan got to turn into a demon, it was awesome. We all just had a lot of fun, so I wanna celebrate it by doing a sequel.”

Seyfried also said that she “can’t critique” the film because, in her opinion, “it’s perfect.”

“It’s got balls. Diablo Cody was outspoken and beautiful and smart and funny,” she said. “We were expressing a certain angst in a very specific, comedic way in a very specific genre. The special effects were so incredible, there were stunts, there was everything you could want.”

“Jennifer’s Body” is about a demonically possessed high school student named Jennifer Check (Fox) who 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s her male classmates to survive. Seyfried plays Jennifer’s nerdy best friend, Needy Lesnicki.

The film failed to make a splash in movie theaters at the time. However, it’s since garnered a cult following.

Earlier this month, Seyfried told The Hollywood Reporter that she thinks “Jennifer’s Body” has “aged well.”

“I thought ‘Jennifer’s Body’ was going to be huge. Diablo Cody, Karyn Kusama, Megan Fox … we had all the ingredients, and it just didn’t happen,” she said.

“I think there’s going to be another one of that, too,” Seyfried added about a possible sequel. “We’re all game.”

Fox, for her part, discussed making “Jennifer’s Body 2” in an interview with The Washington Post in 2021.

“I don’t think it’s a hard movie to make a sequel to,” she said. “I mean, they should make it into a TV series. That would be cool.”

Cody, 46, teased a potential sequel while chatting with Nylon last year.

“I think that was always my dream, but I certainly didn’t think it would be realistic,” the screenwriter said. “People rarely want to make sequels to films that don’t perform. Now I feel like it could be a possibility.”

“I’m ready to go,” added Cody. “I just need to assemble the right team that believes in me.”

BUTTERBEAN – THE BIGGEST HEAVYWEIGHT IN HISTORY!

In an electrifying display of raw power and knockout artistry, Eric “Butterbean” Ash showcased his formidable prowess in the ring, continuing his legacy as one of the most entertaining figures in professional boxing. Known for his impressive weight of 500 pounds, Butterbean delivered a series of devastating knockouts that left fans in awe during his latest fights. In a recent match against the inexperienced young fighter Monaco, Butterbean demonstrated his strength and s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 with a barrage of right and left combinations, leading to multiple knockdowns in the early rounds. Monaco, who was attempting to use a boxing strategy, found himself overwhelmed by Butterbean’s relentless aggression, ultimately succumbing to a third knockdown that sealed the fight in Butterbean’s favor. The action didn’t stop there. Butterbean faced off against Roberts, where a crushing right hand sent Roberts to the canvas, marking Butterbean’s 39th win and his 30th stoppage. His reputation as the “king of the four rounders” was further solidified as he dismissed yet another opponent with a ferocious left hook combination that left the crowd roaring. The excitement continued as Butterbean took on Kurt Allen, who attempted to employ a boxing strategy but struggled to cope with Butterbean’s weight and power. Despite Allen’s initial resilience, Butterbean’s relentless assault culminated in a decisive victory, demonstrating his ability to adapt and close out fights with devastating effectiveness. Throughout these matches, Butterbean’s unique style, characterized by heavy, clubbing punches rather than speed, has captivated audiences and proved that sheer power can often be a fighter’s greatest asset. As he continues to challenge himself, including a bold challenge to face Mike Tyson, Butterbean remains a dominant force in the heavyweight division, proving that he is far from finished in the boxing world. Fans eagerly await his next appearance, anticipating more thrilling knockouts from this heavyweight powerhouse.
