Diablo Cody, the brilliant mind behind the Oscar winning Juno, is speaking out against the marketers for her latest film, Jennifer’s Body. She’s insisting that the film did not reach its full potential at the box office because female audiences were ignored during promotion.
Yeah, we can see where the trailers featuring Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried sucking face would only appeal to a certain portion of ladies.
Diablo was recently interviewed and voiced her concern, saying:
“The marketing was a little messed up. It was marketed mostly to boys and I think we could have had a large female audience that was ignored. I want to believe deep down inside that movie will find its audience. At the same time, many of us knew that it wasn’t going to connect which is a terrible thing to say. As much as I love that movie, and I’m incredibly proud of that movie and I will love it forever, I feel it’s very unusual and I don’t think it’s super accessible in a lot of ways. I don’t think it was a typical, mass appeal popcorn horror movie. I think it was more like an art film. I know some people would laugh at that.”
Maybe it’ll find its niche on DVD?! We can see a cult following developing for this thing for sure.
What do U think? Have U seen the flick?
