Jennifer’s Body and True Blood’s Promo Posters
Now I have absolutely no idea how I’ve missed the overkill of commentary that must have happened when the promo poster for Jennifer’s Body hit the Internet. This must have been such a joke when it hit the web and I really have no idea how I missed it. I must have been in a coma that week because the above image really says it all. I feel bad about missing this one because the commentary must have been priceless.
In all honesty how could their marketing department could have missed such a disgustingly similarity between the two. If they didn’t did they think it would be a nod to the franchise? That fans of the show wouldn’t notice? Were they drunk and on a coke binge and had this great idea at 4am? I’m really not sure. I’m just kind of shocked to the point where I am almost stupidly entertained that this happened in the first place. Thank you for making such an ‘original’ choice on marketing. I really do appreciate the laughter!

i think true blood copied jennifer’s body. back in early 2009, i saw that exact poster of jennifer’s body already and true blood only came out like a month or something ago.
Wrong. True Blood came out in 2008. Second season was in 2009. The Jennifer’s Body poster is a complete and utter rip off.
*laughs* I was going to say.. True Blood has definitely been around since last year
well duh and true blood is so much better then jennifer’s body i mean …. who can’t tell that :O
*laughs* I don’t think anyone would argue that… and if they did you should be more worried about being in the same room of someone completely insane
They most likely had it created, noticed the similarity, and figured true blood fans would be more curious than upset.
I think only lam3rs with nothing better to do would talk about it negatively. Because anyone WHO HAS ACTUALLY WORKED IN MARKETING knows 1. You will have similarities, and sometimes being original isin’t as important as getting your message across. 2. No press is bad press.
GET A LIFE, GET LAID
I am entertained by the last comment. That is all *laughs*
o come on it has megan fox in it, dont hate on it
I think perhaps the poster is a nod to true blood – in fact, true blood was not the first with this idea. I saw a book with a similar cover back in 2005.
yall shouldnt think that true blood copyed them because TRUEBLOOD already been out thisz show is going on its 3 season so dont say that trueblood copyede if it is way better than jennifers body way better
TRUEBLOOD is the best and keeps coming wich jeniffers body is just a plane movie so get at it
i think they should hav had Megan Fox’s mouth closed with the blood dripping down….an true blood copied Twilight!!!! stfu!
most these “new’ vampire movies that came out copied of twilight;with the good vamipers an bad vampires an vthe motals tht fall in love with guy or girl…DUUURRR
Wait wait wait… Most of the “new” ones copied Twilight? Are you serious? First off the post had nothing to do with Twilight and second off:
Twilight was first published in 2005.
True Blood’s first novel was in 2001.
If you really want to get technical I feel True Blood borrowed a few of the larger ideas that were introduced in the Anita Blake series which was first started in 1993.
I prefer True Blood’s poster. Fangs! =D
I like True Blood’s poster more too… I like the fangs and the shadowing.I also think it looks more realistic than Jennifer’s Body. I also think they could have come up with more creative things for Jennifer’s Body poster. Although I haven’t actually seen the film I have just watched the trailer. But it does appear that Megan’s mouth changes quite a lot when she eats someone… so it doesn’t look like the picture in the poster.
I haven’t seen True Blood, but I do like the poster.
Jennifers body sucks.
True Blood is sexy and exciting.
It was a lame attempt at copying the same logo to try and get press attention.
And if you really want to get technical vampire love stories have been around FOREVER.
Hello Anne Rice with interview with a vampire (1976) was one of the first vampire books that showed vampires with compassion.
Theres your Duhhhh.
I think your all forgetting that vampire stories are thousands of years old
second jennifer is not a vampire she’s a deamon
and lastly TWILIGHT VAMPIRES ARE THE PUSSIES OF VAMPIRES
Almost the same design, maybe from the same designers, cant wait for True Blood season 3! Coming march 2010 whooot
March will be a great month!
Psshh Jennifers body copied true blood …..oh yeah and jennifers body is a movie which comes out once ….True blood comes out many times and is on its 3rd season haha take that jennifers body…plus that movie was wackkkkkk!!!!
That’s sooo much bs!! They almost look identical except true blood’s looks 1000 times better. I guess they thought that jennifers body was gonna suck soooo bad that they had to at least score on the promo poster even if it involes stealing the idea from something else. Lame and lazy on there end. Still True blood’s promo poster tops theirs anyday!
its just a poster…get over it. this is a bit out of hand. i personally hate true blood and i am a huge vampire fan..i hate twilight too…i think twilight sadly ruined vampires for me. anyway, i think true blood is boring…and the acting is horrible. jennifers body was ok, some of it was creative, not bad. parts were a bit wonky…anyway..just a poster.
“most these “new’ vampire movies that came out copied of twilight;with the good vamipers an bad vampires an vthe motals tht fall in love with guy or girl…DUUURRR”
Although the next comment pretty much covered everything, I just died a little inside at the huge chunk of stupidity you just filled that statement with. I’m sorry but in relation to that comment you are just as gay as sparkling vampires.
As far as the poster goes, it looks almost as unoriginal as Megan Fox’s acting skills. She and this poster are overrated. True Blood is awesome.
what did you expect it was “written” by diablo cody lmao
Guen….
Shut the f*** up and die….
True Blood is older and way better then Twi(sparkling gay vampires)light….
Anne Rice is older and way better too…
and… only for count…
Dracula is a Lovestory too…
Kids don’t need to use internet in this way….
Use it for studies…
well for pure fun, i read all the cmnts because i felt all of them had something for me to laugh about! xD on that note, what the hell! some people need to STFU about twilight! its gay/stupid/derogatory to vampires/etc, WE GET IT. seriously, people who hate it talk about it just as much as dumbasses who love those twaty sparkling douches. anyways, lol, TB is amazing, hate on the acting all you want but honestly
hot men=good show
Same here j eye s. I jus read through all the comments too. You guys are damn funny.
I don’t think i’ve read a shit book in my life. They’re someone’s interpretation of something, so who i am i to judge whether their opinion. Yeh twilight kinda fell short in the literary talent department, but hey! it made people read! So i think she should be granted partial immunity from the dissing lol. And abt the movies? The shit acting was totally forgotten when i saw Taylor Lautner’s Abs. Yes baby!
Not saying the sparkles are a good idea but it brings something new to the genre. Most of the vamps i other books, shows, movies are mostly pale, scary, sexy. So i give Meyer cred for coming up wid that no matter how weird i find it.
Can’t wait for June 13!!! First books to T.V that didn’t disappoint me.
For the record – I love that this post is STILL getting comments half a year after it was posted
Now we know why that is so
… Well talking about whether each of the posters are rip offs of each other may not be much of my concern. But consider the content of both I guess True blood seems to be a more logic series than that of Jennifer’s body. The later is simple gruesome and horrible to watch. Especially the pitch dark, scary kitchen scene which down straight disturbing…. I really didn’t get its purpose.. It was a waste of time.
and they both copied off of Angelina jolies photo from gQ in 2005

Wow that the first time I’ve seen that one come up… Good one Jessi.. hadn’t seen that one come up before in this conversation on any site!
True Blood has so many original posters and ideas and I dont believe they would copy someone elses artworks. Promo posters for season 3 of True Blood are just great and original.
Can we just agree that TrueBlood is the motherfucking shiznit and that Megan Fox can look like a total whore (every man’s fantasy, no one’s reality)? lol *grins* (by the way that was such a stupid, lesiban, dude-flick bunch of bullshit) get over who copied who and who sucks more donkey dung and get to watching the 3rd season…because there is a Swedish vampire who needs his ass stared at!!! lmao
Hi,thanks for sharing the information.Really i’m totally agree with you.Thanks so much again for sharing the information…..
true blood is waaaaay better than jennifers body! megan fox is so overrated! sure true blood is a little provocitive, but hey! dnt knock it till you try it!!
*bite me plez*
Covers are the thing of graphic designers and advertisers. And as a graphic designer i have to say that the similarity doesn’t bother me at all, on the contrary, it is very exciting. When similarities occur, a competition is born. I don’t care if jennifer’s body copied true blood. I just found true blood’s cover WAY better. Professionally speaking, jennifer’s body failed in typography and photography, two of the most essential design criteria. the case is closed
POSTERS*
With or without the blood or marketing-based poster drama, a set of juicy lips on a female with a seductive tongue, grabs my attention every time. This type of marketing works for me, in more ways than one! Cheers!
