Jennifer’s Body Poster Is Ironic and Derivative

It’s some really bad luck for whoever did the artwork for the poster for Jennifer’s Body. The poster for the new film from Juno scribe Diablo Cody features, ironically enough, Jennifer’s head and no body. I suppose that would be okay except for the fact that HBO release the poster for True Blood a couple of days earlier, and, well…let’s just say that they have some similarities.

The plot for Jennifer’s Body sounds about as dumb as it gets. In the film, a gorgeous cheerleader played by Megan Fox (who gets naked for some reason) is possessed by a demon and starts feeding off the boys in a small Minnesota farming town. Her “plain Jane” best friend must stop her and go after the Satan-worshipping rock band responsible for the horrible transformation.

Now, check out the poster for True Blood below:

Notice the similarities? Of course you did. Even a gorgeous cheerleader possessed by demons would notice the similarities. How embarrassing. I don’t know who’s responsible, but someone’s in trouble at one of these two studios. Heads will roll! (Pun intended.)

Mike already told us about True Blood in his article on the subject. I must say, neither of these sound very good to me. Interestingly enough, however, I think I prefer the poster for True Blood. It just looks better for some reason.

  1. … “Megan Fox (who gets naked for some reason)”… and this is a problem because…..?

    Of course I see the similarities… both titles are in red letters… how could they mess that up!!

  2. I don't think Megan Fox is all that attractive. She looks like a mannequin with make up. She was cute on Hope & Faith with the blond hair but now, she just looks plastered. She's got a nice body though. But I like the whole package and she just doesn't do it for me.

  3. Megan Fox is on an interesting career path right now. She has “How to Lose Friends & Alienate People” coming up followed by “Jennifer's Body” in which she gets naked. After that she's doing a movie called “Whore” followed by “Revenge of the Fallen” (Transformers 2). I wonder if she's trying to tell us something…?

  4. You see Transformers bud? =D

  5. LOL Jason…Yeah she is hired mostly as eye candy I'm sure… I havent even heard of most of these you have listed…

  6. Yea, I saw it. It's kind of a love hate relationship. She looks good, she looks Okay. I don't know. She's just alright to me.

  7. BTW - Where's the next Charlie Jade recap? Did it not upload again?

  8. To each their own my friend… =)

  9. Crap, I forgot to post them, ugh!

  10. These are totally different. The chick in the Jennifer's Body's poster has more color in her skin, and hair. Totally different. Totally.
