We can't think of a better way to follow up a film version of the popular Abba inspired Broadway musical! According to Hollywood Reporter Amanda Seyfried (Mamma Mia!) is set to join Megan Fox (Transformers) in Diablo Cody's (Juno) dark comedy-horror for Fox Atomic, Jennifer's Body. Cody's script centers on 'Jennifer (Fox), a cheerleader who is possessed by a demon and starts feeding off the boys in a Minnesota farming town'. Seyfried will play the character Needy, 'who must take drastic measures to protect her town from the seductive teenager and her appetite for high school guys'. Now I know I'm not THAT old, but my how things have changed since I was in high school. For more on Jennifer's Body, be sure to check out our exclusive interview with screenwriter Diablo Cody.
