Megan Fox vs Godzilla On Saturday Night Live?

Written By: Ken Hulsey
Source: The Weekly World News

Okay, right out of the gate I know what your gonna say, "The Weekly World News, Ken, are you kidding me?" I know, I know, but on this one it is hard to tell if this is one of their usual stories, which is total 'bull biscuits', or if they actually have a scoop?

Of course, I think its all made up, but regardless, it sure is funny.

According to sources, Weekly World News sources, actress Megan Fox has filmed a special digital short for the season premiere of "Saturday Night Live", which is set to air this weekend.The clip is reportedly a spoof of her current film, "Jennifer's Body", and her upcoming role as Mother Theresa in the comedy, "How To Lose Friends and Alienate People."

Now, here is an except from an early draft of the script:

Megan Fox dressed as a nun walking through the streets of New York, set to the song Sadness by Enigma.

In a slow motion shot, Fox recreates her famous scene from Jennifer’s Body by climbing naked on to a dock out of the East River. Disavowing the power of her sexiness, she puts on a nun’s habit as the music swells. Fox begins blessing the unfortunate while walking through the streets of New York City. She takes pity on homeless men, poor women and socially awkward teens, her blessings magically transforming them into religious backup dancers. They have a dance number in Times Square, but it is cut short when Godzilla comes out of the Hudson.

Realizing she is the city’s only hope, Megan Fox the Nun throws off her habit and reaches out to her holy backup dancers, and together they form Fox-atron. Fox-atron is a Metropolis-inspired giant Megan robot. In this costume Fox does battle with Godzilla on a miniature set of New York City. After defeating the monster and pinning him to the ground, Fox-atron makes out with Godzilla, while Sadness cues back up and they fade to black.


Too weird to be true? Well, not really I suppose, this is a comedy show after all.

If this thing airs on "Saturday Night Live", you can thank me for the heads up, if it is total crap, you can thank me for the laughs.

Jennifer's Body (2009)(20th Century Fox)

Source: 20th Century Fox

A sexy horror film with a wicked sense of humor, JENNIFER'S BODY is about small town high school student Jennifer (Megan Fox), who is possessed by a hungry demon. She transitions from being "high school evil" - gorgeous (and doesn't she know it), stuck up and ultra-attitudinal - to the real deal: evil/evil. The glittering beauty becomes a pale and sickly creature jonesing for a meaty snack, and guys who never stood a chance with the heartless babe, take on new luster in the light of Jennifer's insatiable appetite. Meanwhile, Jennifer's lifelong best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried), long relegated to living in Jennifer's shadow, must step-up to protect the town's young men, including her nerdy boyfriend Chip (Johnny Simmons).

JENNIFER'S BODY is written and executive produced by Diablo Cody, who won an Oscar® for her debut screenplay "Juno." "Juno" was directed by Jason Reitman, who serves as a producer on JENNIFER'S BODY, along with Mason Novick and Daniel Dubiecki, both of whom were producers on "Juno." The film is directed by Karyn Kusama whose debut feature "Girlfight" won the Director's Award and the Grand Jury Prize at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival. Kusama's subsequent feature was the stylish science fiction thriller "Aeon Flux," starring Charlize Theron.

After writing "Juno," which Diablo Cody describes as a warm, sweet, life-affirming movie, she wanted to venture into darker territory. "I wanted to write something that was about my fears, something that was a little edgy and eerie, but also funny," Cody notes. "So I started thinking about what's scary to me, and I decided that girls are scary!"

As in "Juno," Cody uses an offbeat writing voice marked by whip-smart dialogue and pop-culture savvy, to mine the precipitous terrain of adolescence. "I don't know why teenagers are my muses...they just are!" she says. "Teenagers inspire me. I'm fascinated with teen speak...with youth culture. I love adolescents because they're in a kind of purgatory. They're not kids anymore, and at the same time they don't have adult responsibilities. So they're just experiencing life, but with all these heightened emotions."

"It was in the midst of all the 'Juno' madness during awards season that I read JENNIFER'S BODY for the first time," Jason Reitman recalls. "I was really excited to read it because I knew Diablo was an enormous fan of the horror genre, and I go see every horror film that comes out. I see more horror films than I see comedies. I was just floored by the JENNIFER'S BODY screenplay because it really scared me, and at the same time, really made me laugh."

Horror and humor may seem like unlikely bedfellows, but Reitman takes a different view. "They are very close siblings. I think they're more related than other film genres," he says. "Both horror and comedy require a storyteller who wants to manipulate the audience. You can sit back and watch a drama, and it'll just kind of wash over you. The person who wants to tell a horror or comedy story is someone who wants to reach in and force the audience to do something, either to laugh or to be scared."

Cody admits that even though there wasn't a specific Jennifer in her life, she has certainly encountered her fair share of girls who cannibalized the people around them. "I think back-biting is a very accurate term, and in this case, it's literal," she quips. "This movie is a commentary on girl-on-girl hatred, sexuality, the death of innocence, and also politics in the way the town responds to the tragedies [of the bloody deaths of several young men]. Any person who dares to respond in an unconventional way is branded a traitor. It's also just about fun - I wanted to write a really entertaining popcorn movie."

"At some point in the process I realized that every type of boy gets it in this film," says Reitman. "The jock gets it. The sweet nerd gets it. The Goth kid gets it. This may just be Diablo's revenge on every type of boy she's ever met. If 'Juno' is the film that speaks to her need for love, JENNIFER'S BODY is the film that speaks to her need for revenge."

Reitman and "Juno" producing partners Mason Novick and Daniel Dubiecki, came together to produce JENNIFER'S BODY, with Karyn Kusama directing. "I think we all wanted a woman director from the beginning," says Reitman. "This is a film that hopefully takes horror in a new direction. It's a horror film told from a female point of view, starring women, and written and directed by women. I've been a fan of Karyn's since seeing 'Girlfight' at Sundance in 1999, so it was really exciting for me to work with her on JENNIFER'S BODY."

"We saw a lot of [directing candidates] and then I sat down with Karyn one day in the lobby of a hotel," Cody recalls. "After speaking with Karyn for only about five minutes, I wanted to call the producers so badly and say, 'Please hire this woman immediately.' I was so excited. Karyn's understanding of the script was so complete; I was just thrilled."

Kusama remembers reading the script and falling in love with it. "It activated so many memories for me of adolescence and high school and a certain kind of girl friendship that's somewhat obsessive and maybe a little toxic. It's one of those rare scripts with a very strong voice as well as rich and nuanced characters. It takes horror movie conventions and turns them upside down - and I was excited by the opportunity to work on something so fresh and original.

"I think JENNIFER'S BODY is really about moving from childhood into adulthood," Kusama continues. "It involves recognizing that the world is filled with dark forces and that as an adult you have to take care of and defend yourself ... make your own choices and get through life on your own. I think what's essential about the horror of JENNIFER'S BODY isn't the presence of demons or the blood and guts of it; the true horror of the movie is how teenagers treat each other and how easily cruel and hurtful they can be."

JENNIFER'S BODY tells the story of two life-long pals, Jennifer and Needy, who find themselves at a crossroads. "Psychologically, they've really outgrown each other," Cody explains. "They don't have anything in common anymore. Needy is this mousy, clingy, needy, insecure girl, and Jennifer is a bombshell who's incredibly cool and confident. Yet their friendship has endured. They're very close, but you sense the friction between them and it's clear that Jennifer is bullying Needy."

The narrative fuse ignites when Jennifer takes Needy to see a rock band from the city, which has a gig at a local bar in the girls' rural hometown of Devil's Kettle. The sinister rockers sacrifice Jennifer to the devil to ensure their success in the music biz, but what they don't know is that they've royally screwed up the ritual. They were supposed to sacrifice a virgin - and Jennifer is no virgin. As a result, a demon is channeled into Jennifer, and she starts feeding on young men.

"I think a big issue in horror films lately is that the permission for the audience to conjure up their own monster has been taken away," says Kusama. "To give that back to an audience and say...what if the most popular, beautiful girl in school is a demon....for real, is a brilliant premise. This idea can spin off into people's heads in so many ways, because we've all known that girl in high school who's impervious to criticism and who always appears so confident. There's something that we worship about this kind of girl, but also something that we fear about her."

Jennifer Check is that girl, beautiful, confident, fearless...and a monster. For real. "The way the character is written is supposed to be funny and it would be so easy to play Jennifer one dimensionally," says Megan Fox. "It would still be funny if she was one dimensional, but we've added so much depth to her. She's still superficial, don't get me wrong, but there are moments when you see her legitimately hurt; she's not always the aggressor or the predator."

Fox had signed on to play Jennifer early in the pre-production process. "Both Diablo and I had said, 'If there's one girl on earth who is Jennifer, it is Megan Fox,'" recalls producer Daniel Dubiecki. "We had coffee with Megan and she said, 'I love this story. I am this girl. I know how to do this. I can kill this role.'"

"This script is by far the funniest script I've read, ever," says Fox, who shot to motion picture superstardom with her work in "Transformers" and "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." "It's also the most realistic interpretation of teenagers I've ever read. Diablo's really good at relating to how kids really are. I was in high school just a few years ago and it was a nightmare!"

"Megan is really interesting because she has this very beautiful, icy facade which is perfect for our initial perceptions of Jennifer," Kusama explains. "But what was really impressive was her ability to go to a deeper place and expose not only Jennifer's over-confidence, outrageousness or vanity, but also her sorrow, fear and regret."

The scene of Jennifer's sacrifice at the hands of a satanic rock band is pivotal and was one of the most difficult tonally to achieve. "At this point in the story Jennifer is the victim; she's the prey," Fox recounts. "I played it straight and dramatic, even though the scene has a strong comedic edge."

Needy confides in Chip when she realizes Jennifer is chowing-down on the male student body at Kettle High. "If somebody came up to you and said that their best friend was possessed and was eating guys, it's sort of like, 'You're my girlfriend, I love you, but you're kind of crazy!' That thought would have to go through your brain," says Simmons.

Adam Brody plays Nikolai, the lead singer in the fictional band Low Shoulder. He's the ringleader in sacrificing Jennifer in a bid for rock 'n roll superstardom. "Adam takes words, throws them up in the air and juggles them," Dubiecki notes. "The role of Nikolai is completely outside of what you'd think of as his normal wheelhouse, and what he thinks of as his normal wheelhouse, but his instincts are right on. Nikolai is a completely sinister jerk, a scary guy who's doing things for all the wrong reasons, but at the end of the day, we actually want to be caught up in the confusion and shock over who this guy is and how desperate he is for success."

The band is a catalyst in the story, "setting the chain of events in motion," says producer Mason Novick. Similarly, the score by Theodore Shapiro & Stephen Barton, and the Jennifer's Body: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, are key elements of the film. Released by Fueled by Ramen, the soundtrack gathers unreleased tracks from an array of top FBR artists, including Cobra Starship, Hayley Williams and Panic At The Disco, who contribute the first single, "New Perspective." The soundtrack also features a who's-who of today's top new acts, including tracks from Silversun Pickups, All Time Low, Little Boots, Black Kids, Florence and The Machine, and Lissy Trullie, alongside such alternative icons as Dashboard Confessional and Hole, whose classic "Violet" will be included as a bonus track on the digital Deluxe Edition. Jennifer's Body: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was produced by renowned music supervisor Randall Poster ("The Hangover," "Revolutionary Road").

The JENNIFER'S BODY cast also includes "Juno" and "Spider-Man" veteran J.K. Simmons, who plays Mr. Wroblewski, a teacher at Kettle High who sports a prosthetic arm with a gleaming hook. "I wanted Wroblewski to have a prosthetic appendage to hint at some horror in his past," says Cody, who had to defend her choice against those who thought it gratuitous. "That's why horror movies are frightening; they underscore the fact that we're surrounded by horror in life and that's an unpleasant reality."

Jennifer's Body - Making A Movie And A Monster

Source: 20th Century Fox

No matter how wild the on-screen action, the filmmakers were determined to infuse JENNIFER'S BODY with a realistic, naturalistic look. "As much as I love beauty in movies, it's also important that there be some kind of fundamental honesty in the design choices," notes directer Karyn Kusama. "Even if you push it and go a little over the top, which I hope we did with this movie in a positive way, there's still something truthful about it."

"My initial dialogue with Karyn was basically how to get the hyperbole of horror into this fairly mundane, Midwest setting," notes production designer Arv Greywal. "While doing some location scouting, we saw a swimming pool that was almost overgrown with vines, so we took that another step and there are literally thousands of running feet of vines in our pool set."

Nature is a major visual design thematic in the film. There are plant motifs in the girls' bedroom wallpaper, an artificial forest of denuded trees at the school dance, and a mossy tree stump serves as Jennifer's sacrificial alter. "Nature symbolizes the wild forces that are uncontrollable, the supernatural, the primal emotions that permeate this story," says director of photography M. David Mullen. "We're constantly seeing this wild, untamed nature, which gives the film a kind of fairytale quality."

Also embedded in the design is a macabre kind of natural science that portends the visceral experiences to come. "In the girls' biology class we see models of human intestines and lungs. We also have a possum in a jar of formaldehyde," notes Greywal, whose first production design assignment was horror maestro George Romero's "Land of the Dead." "There are some design themes that we draw on from classic horror movies, and we're quite overt about it in certain instances. At the pool, there's a pile of trash and the objects are all visual cliches from old horror movies, cradles, wheelchairs, broken mirrors, chandeliers, for instance."

The film's offbeat sensibility and varying types of humor were key considerations. "Sometimes we're working with a kind of deadpan humor, other times it has a macabre quality. Sometimes the humor's in the dialogue, sometimes it's in the situation, the set-up, or the image itself," Mullen explains. "Over the course of the story we travel from naturalism to expressionism. As things go more and more wrong for the characters, the lighting gets more shadowy, and things get more extreme in terms of contrast and mood. We could justify it because it's a story where almost anything is possible."

Over the course of the story, Jennifer transforms from a glittering beauty into a pale and sickly creature. Jennifer's wan look had the suntanned Megan Fox making every effort to avoid the gym and the sun. "Coming off of 'Transformers,' I was really healthy," says Fox. "I was working out all the time, and I was often at the beach. When I took on JENNIFER'S BODY, I stopped going outside so I could approach Jennifer's demon-esque coloring. I never left my house. I actually started becoming physically what she becomes."

When Jennifer feeds, her facial features transform into a hideous maw. This is achieved in a sequence of shots that showcase the artful marriage of prosthetic make-up and visual effects. "Jennifer's jaw becomes unhinged, her cheeks rip open and the inside of her mouth fills with teeth as she attacks her victims," explains VFX supervisor Erik Nordby. "Because we have a mandate to do as much as we can on camera, our makeup effects team, Greg Nicotero and Mike Fields, took the lead on developing this signature sequence. They designed the overall look that informed our approach, which entailed a series of passes with every pass fulfilling a role in what became the final shot."

"Megan has a pair of fang-like dentures that she wears in the feeding sequences," adds makeup effects artist Mike Fields. "We also had a double who wore an extended jaw and neck prosthetic, and repeated Megan's action on a separate pass. The double's prosthetic was painted green so it could be manipulated in post-production. I then stepped in with the full prosthetic puppet head for a reference shot to give visual effects the full range of motion of the jaw."

JENNIFER's jaw - and the rest of her BODY - arrive in theaters everywhere September 18.

'Holy BS Batman! Casting Rumors Are Nothing More Than The Riddler's Tricks!'

Written By: Ken Hulsey
Source: WENN

Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, Cher and Kate Beckinsale as Catwoman. Shia Labeouf, Johnny Depp and Eddie Murphy as The Riddler. You know what it all adds up to? Mule Muffins! Well, at least that's what the executives at Warner Bros want you to think, and maybe they're right.

Hot on the heels of the latest Batman movie rumor, that actress Megan Fox has landed the role of Catwoman, the big cheese at Warners have felt that enough is enough, and have now spoke out on the matter.

An unnamed source has made it clear that the studio does indeed want to shoot another Batman movie, and that the project is in the very early stages, and most importantly, the producers haven't even discussed casting yet.

The representative told People.com, "It's a rumour (The Casting of Megan Fox). It's not true. There is no script. There is no project to be cast in."

It's really hard to get a good feel on what exactly is fact, and what is fiction, in this case. It would stand to reason that even if any of the rumors that have been published were true, Warner Bros would deny them, just to keep information regarding the production a secret.

Some of the stuff has even come from reputable sources, like Sir Michael Caine, who let it slip a few months back that indeed The Riddler would be in the film. Other casting rumors have come from the actors themselves, yet, Warner Bros insists it's all bull.

Maybe it is all crapola, then again maybe Cher is going to be Catwoman? Who the heck knows? Well, probably Christopher Nolan, and he ain't talkin.

Megan Fox Cast As Catwoman In "Gotham"?

Written By: Ken Hulsey
Source: WENN

For months now there has be speculation on whether Catwoman would appear in Christopher Nolan's follow-up to the mega-hit "The Dark Knight", reportedly called "Gotham." Along with this speculation has come a long list of potential femme felines that includes Cher, Kate Beckinsale, Angelina Jolie, Rachel Weisz and even the actress who played the character in the 1992 film "Batman Returns", Michelle Pfeiffer.

Today the British tabloid, The Sun, is reporting that Megan Fox has landed the role and will be on set alongside Christian Bale and Michael Caine when filming begins early next year.

Undoubtedly, adding Fox to the film would be a 'hot' ticket item, as if a film like 'Gotham' needed one, that would get more fanboys in the seats, as if just the fact that it is a Christopher Nolan 'Batman' film wasn't enough.

Now, I don't think that I need to point out the fact that this news comes from The Sun, a tabloid, so obviously this could just be fodder.

Fox is set to make young men drool all over themselves in the upcoming dark comedy "Jennifer's Body", which will be released September 18th.

No word on whether Eddy Murphy will be playing The Riddler yet. No....really....that's the rumor.

Two New Photos Of Megan Fox In Jennifer's Body

Written By: Ken Hulsey

Now that the San Diego Comic Con is upon us, movie studios both big and small are all climbing over each other trying to get information about their upcoming projects into the hands of writers, like me, for promotional purposes.

20th Century Fox has just released these two photos of Megan Fox from their upcoming dark comedy "Jennifer's Body." The film isn't scheduled to come out until September 18th, but this is the season to promote, promote, promote.

Here's the skinny, from Fox (20th Century...not Megan):

When small-town high school hottie Jennifer (Megan Fox) is possessed by a hungry demon, guys who never stood a chance with her, take on new luster in the light of Jennifer's insatiable appetite. From the Oscar-winning screenwriter of "Juno."

Black Comedy – Thriller
Release: September 18, 2009
Director: Karyn Kusama
Written by: Diablo Cody
Producers: Jason Reitman, Daniel Dubiecki, Mason Novick
Cast: Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Adam Brody, J.K. Simmons

It's no surprise that this one is starting to get a lot of buzz, Megan Fox seems to have replaced Britney Spears as America's tabloid darling. Look out Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton, here comes Megan!

Just a quick look at the entertainment headlines from this past week proves my point:

Fox: 'I Didn't Snub Bond Role'
Fox: 'I'm Only Pals With Men'
Fox Determined Not To Turn Into Britney
And they go on and on.....

It seems that anytime the lovely actress says anything or does anything, anything at all, the press is all over it.

Funny thing is, most of the articles are about how Fox hates being in the spotlight.

Anna Friel Has Her Eyes On Wonder Woman

Written By: Ken Hulsey
Source: WENN

Exotic actress Anna Friel, who was the only thing worth looking at in "Land of the Lost", is setting her sights on portraying "Wonder Woman" on the big screen. Joss Whedon's big screen remake of the popular TV series that starred Lynda Carter as the crime fighting Amazon princess, has been an on-again-off-again affair, which reportedly is back on again.

Friel can add her name to a long list of "Wonder Woman" wannabees, including Megan Fox, Eliza Dushku and singer Beyonce Knowles. Back when the film was first announced back in 2007 Jessica Biel and Katie Holmes were considered the favorites for the part. Holmes even went as far as to have a private audition for the coveted role, but nothing ever came from it.

Friel told People magazine at the premiere for "Land of the Lost" that the part would fulfill her childhood fantasies,"Everyone wanted to be Wonder Woman. I had Wonder Woman pyjamas."

"Wonder Woman" sleepwear or not, it is Dushku that has the endorsement of the woman who made the role famous, Lynda Carter, the actress recently commented on the potential casting stating, "Eliza would make a great Wonder Woman."

When the former "Wonder Woman" is in your corner you can bank on the film makers taking notice.

Is Megan Fox The Sexiest Sci fi Babe Of All Time?

Written By: Ken Hulsey
Source: WENN

In a poll conducted by MSN Movies, Megan Fox was voted 'Hottest Sci-Fi Babe of All-Time' beating out such lovely ladies as Halle Barry (2nd), Milla Jovovich (3rd), Natalie Portman (4th) and Sigourney Weaver (5th).

According to the results of the poll, Fox, blew away her nearest competitor, Barry, by a wide margin.

From the photo above it is hard to argue with the results of the poll, although one could note that the only sci-fi that Fox has appeared in was that awful "Transformers" movie. Maybe a more established sci fi actress would have been more appropriate.

Other actresses that have held the title of "Hottest Sci-Fi Babe" have included "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" star Chase Masterson, and "X-Files" beauty, Gillian Anderson.

Now being an "old school" sci fi fan, I would have gone for a classic actress like, Lynda Carter, Linda Harrison, Rachel Welch or Caroline Monroe for an "all-time" list.

Then again, I am older.

No doubt Megan Fox is a certified 'hottie', so I guess the fans have named their girl......well, at least until the next new babe arrives on the scene.

Megan Fox Turns Down Tomb Raider Role

Written By: Ken Hulsey
Source: WENN

Reports have been circling like mad that "Transformers" star, Megan Fox, has stepped into Angelina Jolie's shoes playing Lara Croft in the next "Tomb Raider" movie. According to Fox, however, that simply isn't true.

One of Fox's representatives issued this very short, but blunt statement, "Megan is not involved in this movie."

I guess that you really don't have to be long-winded when saying, "NO!", do you.

Reportedly the follow-up to 2001's "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" and 2003's "Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life", is still going on as planned. Presently the film's producers are busy casting a new villain and a love interest for Croft.
