In the upcoming dark-comedy, "Jennifer's Body", the title character, Jennifer, (Played by Megan Fox) has a best friend nicknamed Needy, a self-effacing, bookish young woman, has always lived in her friend's shadow. "Needy is definitely smart and open-minded, but she's a bit of a follower because Jennifer has all this power, or pseudo-power, because she's beautiful and everybody wants to bed her," says Amanda Seyfried of her character. "Jennifer's confidence diminishes Needy, but she's kind of comfortable in that zone. I mean it's been that way their whole lives, and they're loyal to each other and that's special to Needy; she feels accepted by Jennifer."

Seyfried adds, with a laugh: "You're going to want to see this film because, first of all, Megan Fox and I make out. Second of all, Megan Fox is in her underwear and lastly, you're going to want to see it because...Megan Fox and I make out."

"What's lovely about Amanda is she has this expressive face that can be very still. She has so much going on behind her eyes," Kusama notes. "Needy's sort of frantic and at the same time, she's very analytical and logical," Cody adds. "You can see her putting together the pieces of the puzzle, facing this really uncomfortable truth about her best friend and coming to terms with it. It's not an easy thing to do, and it's just beautiful to watch Amanda play it."

Fox and Seyfried developed a quick rapport, which kept both of them laughing amid the story's carnage and action. "I like Amanda; she's funny," Fox says of her co-star. "She says really inappropriate things all the time, and it makes me laugh." "I think I was a little shocked by Amanda and Megan," jokes Johnny Simmons, who plays Needy's boyfriend Chip. "I've never come across anyone like these two before. They don't hold back on anything. I was just trying to keep up."
