Megan Fox, the sexy star of “Transformers,” has a new role to add to her “body” of work.

“Jennifer’s Body” opened at the Toronto International Film Festival this week to rave reviews. In it, Fox plays a sexy, satanic high school vixen that hungers for male flesh. Her hunger leads to many gory, but strangely seductive, scenes of Fox/Jennifer devouring her male prey.

But Fox downplays the sexual aspects of the film. At a press conference yesterday at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Toronto, Fox told reporters that “Jennifer’s Body” is not about sex, but sex is what draws attention.

Fox should know.

A few months ago, topless pictures of Fox (as Jennifer) were leaked to the Internet. The photos attracted a lot of attention to Fox—and to “Jennifer’s Body.”

But the 23-Year-old Fox says that she wants to expand her career beyond the sex symbol label. Karyn Kusama, who directed “Jennifer’s Body,” thinks that this film may help her to do just that. At the press conference, she told reporters that Fox showed her acting range in “Jennifer’s Body.”

“Jennifer’s Body,” is slated for national release next Friday.
