Months before “Jennifer’s Body” hit multiplexes on Sept. 18, 2009, writer Diablo Cody had a feeling the edgy horror-comedy would tank. And flop it did, despite the screenwriter taking home an Oscar…

Man, we read so many amazing actors. I remember seeing a young Emma Stone, a young Lizzy Caplan. But there was just something about Amanda [Seyfried]. She had this complete wide-eyed wonder about the world in her audition and it traveled through her whole performance. As soon as I saw her, I felt like ‘oh, she’s the one.’I remember reading a lot of people for Needy. Like, Amanda Bynes I remember. I remember meeting with Emma Stone about it. And then, Jennifer was always Megan Fox.

Because of Fox’s budding success with “Transformers,” the actress had to dodge paparazzi on set. While filming one scene where she swims in a lake after eating her male classmate in the woods, she said that despite the crew clearing the woods of cameramen, one got in and took a photo of her, almost naked, getting in and out of the lake. She broke down and the crew flew her home to recover.

At the climax of the film, Jennifer corners Needy’s boyfriend Chip in an indoor pool, where she prepares to feed on the frightened teenage boy. Because of the cold Vancouver winter, the special effects team had to install their own heaters. They even set up an inflatable hot tub to keep the cast comfortable.We started looking at indoor pools and found what I’m pretty sure was a juvenile detention center that might have had a pool, which is interesting.
