Actor Megan Fox says her image in the media following her role of glamorous Mikaela Banes in the Transformers franchise had a catastrophic effect on her 2009 movie Jennifer's Body. The horror-comedy, written by Diablo Cody and directed by Karyn Kusama, featured Fox as a demonically possessed high school girl who kills her male classmates. During her appearance on Eli Roth's History of Horror: Uncut podcast, the actor referenced to her "fall-out" with the Transformers makers, saying that it had a negative impact on Jennifer's Body.
"I was being vilified a little bit when the movie was getting ready for its release, it was that interesting juxtaposition to shooting up to extreme heights of fame right before the movie was released and then... the tearing me down was starting to happen. Then I had this immediate fallout with someone I worked in the industry. That happened right when I was on the press tour for 'Jennifer's Body.' I think it all sort of exploded at once. I think people definitely viewed me as negative or having bad intentions or just being really shallow and selfish, if it could be reduced and simplified even to that," Fox said. The actor said the film never "stood a chance" mainly because of her "image" at the time. "All these people put in a lot of hard work into making a really quality project that was panned for reasons that had nothing to do with them,¿ she said. "A lot of it was just about my image at the time and who I was in the media at the time and the backlash to that. The movie never really stood a chance," Fox added.
