Variety has just announced that Karen Kusama (GIRLFIGHT, the retched AEON FLUX) will helm stripper-turned-screenwriter du jour Diablo Cody’s horror/comedy JENNIFER’S BODY, which will star the body of the unbelievable Megan Fox. The picture is set up at Fox Atomic and will be produced by JUNO director Jason Reitman.

The plot sounds like something out of my dirtiest wet dreams: a seemingly-perfect cheerleader’s life is thrown into disarray when she gets possessed by a demon and begins eating boys in her small Minnesota town. She then faces off against her best friend and the Satan-worshipping band that made her evil. Wasn’t there an ANDY GRIFFITH episode like that once?

If you want to read Cody’s (pictured above) thoughts about the project, head on over to MTV. Shooting begins in March, no release date is set yet.
