Jennifer’s Body vs. HBO’s True Blood

Fox Atomic has released a teaser poster for the Diablo Cody penned horror film Jennifer’s Body. You might recognize this poster, as we posted it a couple days ago with a different title card “True Blood“. Of course I’m joking, as the film and the upcoming HBO television series have no real connection. But the similarities in the poster design are too extreme to ignore.

  • Captain Awesome
    The one for True Blood looks better. Especially the painted face area and the detail on the tongue. The one for JB looks fairly simplistic.

    The should have done more of a manipulated photo style for Jennifer's Body I think. Because the face on it looks way too amatuer looking. Not to say this theme is original. It's been used countless of times on books, comics, and other film posters.

    This'll be their excuse: No no no, wait... Megan Fox's tongue is pointed the other way....
  • emily
    haha that's probably true
  • evanz
    This cannot be a coincidence.
  • ddy_blue
    hum....i not jumping for the JB poster.
    The TB one is sick....the detail on the tongue like captain awesome said and the lipstick and the blood its just wicked!

    and i prefer TB's tongue over JB's tongue....looks way better to kiss!
    JB's tongue is too thin!
  • O
    They both really gross me out. TB is better I think, but gross nonetheless.
  • looks like somebody is gonna get fired.

    tee-hee
  • Count Chocula
    So JB copied TB?
  • Jerry crack corn and I don't c
    Well, one has vampire teeth. That's the hair to split.

    One conveys a horror theme, the other........ a chick with a preference for the rough stuff.
  • Steelo
    that's just lazy
  • Stevo
    I'm kind of hoping someone gets fired over this or there's a marketing lawsuit. This blatant thievery sets a bad precedent.
  • ddy_blue
    Anywaysss......TB has a way better poster than JB!
    Maybe JB did copy TB or maybe not.....actually i dont care as long as none of the two suck cuz i am excited to watch both!
  • TheMarquis
    theirs goes "dum dum dum dada dum dum. dum dum dum dada du dum." Mine goes "dum dum dum dada dum dum buh TING dum dum dum dada dum um." It's that itty-bitty ting! completely different...
  • Swarley
    It's the BUM CHING at the end!
    Still the biggest rip off of all time, in my eyes.
  • ddy_blue
    TheMarquis : what the hell was that? what did you mean??
  • Jerry crack corn and I don't c
    Vanilla Ice lol
  • ddy_blue
    Ohhh i got it noww......LoL

    yep right!
  • Sean

  • greycolumbus
    Um


    HELLO

    This pic predates both of them:

    I'm positive that it's all influenced by some image or painting or poster or something.
  • Chicks who look like they've just bitten off dicks...

    I'm guessing I'm not part of either of their target audience.
  • The JB one looks like a bad 80's teen movie poster. I think the tongue is more realistic on the JB one but way creepier on the TB one, like something that could crawl right out of her mouth if it had a mind to.
  • Stevo
    Oh man, one can only hope this is as bad as Juno. So we end up getting a quality film and they get lots of money.

    ???

    Someone's gonna get fiiired.

    Cody just tries way too hard to be edgy. But in her defense, in case you guys haven't heard, SHE USED TO BE A STRIPPER!
  • gocitizen
    Different art styles. I have no problem with that.

    if anyone dropped the ball, it's from having a one-sheet that does not include Megan Fox her own self. Wanna sell a movie? Put a half-naked Megan Fox on the poster. I'd fire the people behind this oversight just out of principle.

    "What were you thinking? We have Meagan Fox in a starring role! Yer feckin fired.
  • True Blood resembles Heroes at first glance (just rented the first episode from Blockbuster), though it still feels mostly original... for some reason this show makes me want to eat Cajun food and drink cheap beer
  • Sophie
    OK-

    Diablo mentioned that she was jealous of other writers often. Sorry babe Alan Ball is one million times better than you could ever dream of being. True Blood is also one trillion times better than your dumb ass show. What blatan thievery. I cant wait for this to explode around the release date of the film.

    Both True Blood and Jennifer's Body are referencing a photograph of Angelina Jolie by Martin Schoeller taken for Entertainment Weekly July 18, 2003. The image shows Angelina licking blood off her lips. No one ripped off anybody, and if they did, it was Martin Schoeller. It was just bad timing. They did a new poster for Jennifer's Body I like much better. Check it out!

    the JB one is way to photoshopped and airbrushed. I bet not one pixel from the original photo is visible. The mouth looks like it was just plopped on top of a skin toned background with some hair pasted on the sides. the TB one looks more like a real photgraph. Megan fox is a crap actress, I would only rent this movie to make fun of how bad of an actress she is, I think she is just playing herself honestly.
  • The man-hater theme could sell it--along with Fox and Cody's dialogue, which is not being used as a selling point in the trailer, for whatever reason. It also looks genuinely scary. I'm convinced Raimi's super-smart Drag Me to Hell would have done BETTER with an R-rating. It confused people as both soft and comedic
