Variety reports that Karyn Kusama has taken over from Jason Reitman as director of JENNIFER’S BODY, the Diablo Cody-scripted horror/comedy for Fox Searchlight.
Reitman, who helmed Cody’s script for the current box-office hit JUNO, remains on as producer (with Dan Dubiecki and Mason Novick) of the project, which begins lensing in March. Cody’s script is about a Midwest small-town cheerleader (to be played by TRANSFORMERS’ Megan Fox) who becomes possessed by evil thanks to a Satanic band and begins killing her male classmates, with her best friend attempting to stop her.
Kusama won praise for her debut feature GIRLFIGHT before making her studio debut on the much-tampered-with Charlize Theron actioner AEON FLUX.
