Megan Fox predicted possible Jennifer’s Body catastrophe

Megan FoxMegan’s Fox’s latest movie, the Diablo Cody penned ‘Jennifer’s Body,’ opened earlier this month after weeks of tremendous buzz — but all the saucy quotes and sexy magazine covers in the world couldn’t entice theatre audiences, who stayed away in droves. The film has thus far been a colossal flop, taking in a paltry $12 million over two weeks.

But MTV says Fox saw it coming. The sexy starlet expressed her concerns in an interview with Nylon Magazine that took place before the film’s opening. “It might be a complete failure on my part,” she said. “But the fact that I had to really put myself out there is totally different than being able to hide behind the magic of ILM [Industrial Light and Magic, which did special effects for 'Transformers']. That’s no hiding from anything. There’s nothing there to distract you from my performance. So if it’s bad, it’s going to be f***ing bad for me. And if it’s good, then I will have achieved something on some level.”

The 23-year-old also showed an astute understanding of the potential pitfalls of her own overexposure, something she might wish studio execs shared, when she said, “I think that I’m really overexposed. I was part of a movie that [the studio] wanted to make sure would make $700 million, so they oversaturated the media with their stars, I don’t want to be in magazines every week and on the Internet everyday (sic). I don’t want to have people get completely sick of me before I’ve ever even done something legitimate.”

Perhaps she will have the chance to prove herself in June 2010 when ‘Jonah Hex’ hits theatres. In it, Fox stars alongside Josh Brolin — who plays the title character — as Leila, his gun-wielding, prostitute love interest.
