Megan Fox stepped back into the spotlight over the weekend, turning heads in Los Angeles with a daring, blood-red look at a special screening of her 2009 cult classic horror film, Jennifer’s Body.
The event, held Saturday at the Academy Museum, included a Q&A session where Fox, 38, joined the film’s director Karyn Kusama to discuss the movie’s lasting cultural impact. In photos shared by TMZ, Fox made one of her first postpartum public appearances, wearing a sheer tulle dress that appeared to be dripping with blood due to red beading accenting her sheer nude corset bodice and her see-through, asymmetrical skirt.
Clips and photos from the evening quickly spread across social media, with fans applauding Fox’s bold outfit and celebrating her onstage reunion with Kusama. Film outlets, including Celluloid Dreams and Times of Cinema shared images from the event, sparking fresh conversations about the enduring influence of the once-underrated horror film.
The screening also brought exciting news for longtime fans — screenwriter Diablo Cody is reportedly at work on a sequel script to the beloved original. Cody, who penned the 2009 film after her Oscar-winning success with Juno, has often spoken fondly about the project. “Nothing makes me happier than when someone tells me they love this movie,” she said in a 2024 interview.
When it debuted in 2009, Jennifer’s Body — starring Fox as Jennifer Check, a high school cheerleader possessed by a demon who targets her male classmates — was met with mixed reviews and modest box office results. However, over time, it’s been reclaimed as a feminist cult classic, praised for its dark humor and sharp social commentary.
Fox’s reunion with Kusama highlighted just how much the film’s reputation has evolved, particularly in its portrayal of female friendship, rage, and empowerment. And with Cody’s sequel reportedly in development, fans are eagerly speculating about whether Jennifer Check might rise from the dead for one more story.
