On Tuesday, April 11th, Film Independent invites you to a Live Read of the cult classic, Jennifer’s Body, directed by the film’s original auteur, Karyn Kusama. This reading will feature a reinterpretation of the bloody teenage romp and its high school hormones, with performances by iconic Hollywood actors. Since its release in 2009, Jennifer’s Body has become canon in the film traditions of teen horror comedy and feminist satire.

Featuring Daryl McCormack (Bad Sisters), Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets), Mädchen Amick (Twin Peaks, Riverdale), Paul Scheer (How Did This Get Made?), Rachel Sennott (Bodies Bodies Bodies) and Dylan Minnette (Scream).

Arts Circle Members receive access to the Founders Room, including complimentary beverages, one hour prior to showtime.

The aptly named Needy is your textbook sweet, nerdy dork, who just so happens to be friends with the hottest girl in school, Jennifer. When Jennifer plays her usual tricks on the lead singer of an emo rock band, she gets more than she bargained for, and Needy seems to be the only one noticing Jennifer’s different. Evil has come to the nowhere town of Devil’s Kettle, and the theme of the prom this year is possession.

“I couldn’t be happier to resurrect Jennifer’s Body for Film Independent’s Live Read series, honoring the film’s legacy by casting an iconic slate of actors who paved the way for a film like this to exist in the first place,” said Karyn Kusama.

Join us at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts for a night of demonic delights and sour candy camp.
