Jennifer’s Body, Oscar winner Diablo Cody’s new script (which is being directed by Karyn Kusama, who I fear will be reduced to a parenthetical in too much of the coverage – taking on a Cody script is now like taking on a Charlie Kaufman script, in that all of a sudden the media decides it’s all the writer’s vision), has its latest actor. A couple of weeks ago we told you that some legitimate emo singers were being considered for the role of the leader of the Satanic emo band that starts the movie’s horror storyline, but it turns out they’ve gone with an actor – Adam Brody.
I’ve never understood what people see in Brody, but I can totally buy him as an emo fruit, so this seems like fine casting to me. Also joining the cast is the wonderful JK Simmons, who will be playing the high school science teacher.
Jennifer’s Body has already started shooting, so it’ll be long done before Brody has to report for work as The Flash in Justice League. Sorry, I couldn’t help but snicker at that.

Y'know what'd be absolutely hilarious? If by some longer-than-hell longshot he gets nominated for an Oscar, and he's making the JLA movie. He'd be pulling a total Michael Caine, who missed his win for "Hannah and Her Sisters" to make "Jaws: The Revenge." You can't make that shit up.
Of course, this is all assuming Brody is somehow a decent actor. Never really seen him in anything I (remember) or like him from, so who knows?
Another great article from the big brain of Devin. Joy.
I don't see Adam Brody lighting the world on fire with his acting chops. I'm happier Simmons is in the movie. But will he be more J Jonah Jameson or Schillinger?
"Emo fruit", huh? Why not just call him a faggot? I mean, you are implying the same thing. For some reason I expect better from the guys that contribute to this site, and that just seems like a strange cheap shot from Devin who seems to be the most activist-minded writer here.
It's called a joke, dipshit.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
'Emo Fruit'? Really? Wow. Let me guess, "I'm not a homophobe, I have gay friends." Right?
Brody was good in Thank You For Smoking along with Simmons although they had no scenes together. Maybe lightning will strike again. The only other things I've ever seen him in was some stoner comedy with Anna Faris that was forgettable (appropriately enough), and as Barry Williams in Growing Up Brady. Brody's transformation into that former Brady Bunch star was so complete that I didn't realize I had seen him in that tv movie until I saw it listed in his credits on IMDB.
oh, SHOOSH!

I actually said "AH FUCK ME" out loud when I read this. Brody is the epitome of BLAND.
I thought Brody did a stellar job in "In the Land of Women" a movie that was flawed, but eminently watchable due to Brody's performance.
If anything, at least he's attempting to be an actor and get involved with projects that at least look good on paper.
I honestly read "emo fruit" as in the guy just comes from that group of young actors considered emo. Like they all sprouted on the same tree of dipshits. Do your minds always take the gayest road through a collection of words or do I just have a better imagination?
You PC fags now have to ruin the internet? Fuck you Hippies!
i am really glad to see Adam Brody. He's got that certain something that will almost ensure this movie flops, and I wish I could thank him, cause I am really tired of hearing about Diablo Cody. Just her name is retarded. Emo is retarded, it's not even a style of music, it's a hairstyle.
