Looks like Adam has gotten himself another role in a movie! Ignore all the Katie Holmes bussiness…

Katie Holmes has replaced Liv Tyler in the independently financed comedy “The Romantics.”The actress has come aboard to topline and exec produce the pic, which also stars Anna Paquin, Josh Duhamel, Malin Akerman, Elijah Wood, Adam Brody and Jeremy Strong.

Team Todd, Plum Pictures and Benaroya Pictures are producing.

Project, which had originally been scheduled to lense in the summer, begins shooting this week in New York.

Film revolves around eight friends from college who reunite for a wedding. Holmes, fresh off her role in Miramax’s “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark,” will play Laura, the maid of honor to Anna Paquin’s Lila, the bride. Laura and Lila are best friends who both have a past with the groom (Duhamel).

Screenplay was adapted by Galt Niederhoffer from her novel; she will also direct.

Confirmation is pending, but according to Video ETA, Fox Home Entertainment is eyeing a December 29 DVD and Blu-Ray release for this fall’s Jennifer’s Body. Special features have not been revealed.

Starring Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Adam Brody and Johnny Simmons, the Diablo Cody-penned horror comedy bowed in theaters on September 18. It underperformed, needless to say, and grossed an $18 million worldwide.

When Fox dishes official details, we’ll let you know.

The Elephant Project is an organization to raise money and awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association. There is a phrase that says “elephants never forget,” and in the fight against Alzheimer’s, we are striving for those affected to “never forget.” Because of the elephant’s connection to the cause, we have celebrities pose for a photo with an elephant beanie baby, which are then auctioned off with an autograph and a beanie. Tons of celebrities have already joined the cause and we have a bunch of auctions live right now. Adam Brody participated in the project at the VMAs last month and his auction is up on eBay right now along with 33 others. Here is the link:

Another fantastic interview with Adam!

He’ll take a serving of fava beans with that Chianti.

Adam Brody had just one vision for the cutthroat crooner he plays in the horror comedy Jennifer’s Body.

“I had to think: ‘What can I do with it? How can I make this fun?’ I wanted him to be happy-go-lucky about the whole thing and not a conflicted, angry killer. More of the Hannibal Lecter school of killer: the killer you want at a party,” says Brody, referring to the charming serial killer played by Anthony Hopkins.

In Body, in theaters now, Brody’s serenely ruthless musician plays a mind game with buxom babe Jennifer (Megan Fox), before doing something very bad to her — with unforeseen results. It’s an evil departure for Brody, best known as loquaciously charming Seth Cohen on the Fox series The OC.

Can’t believe Adam has seen “Twilight” and is Team Edward…

In Jennifer’s Body (in theaters today), Adam Brody, our favorite geek hero from The O.C., tries evil on for size. He plays the lead singer of a devil-worshipping emo band that attempts to sacrifice Jennifer (Megan Fox) because they think she’s a virgin and it will bring them greater fame. (He doesn’t do his own vocals: “My singing voice is still going through puberty,” he says. “They gave me a singing lesson or two, and it’s not the worst thing in the world, but it’s not anything anyone would choose to hear.”) Unfortunately, since Jennifer’s not pure, a demon takes over her body and starts feeding on high school boys. Almost as dangerous as Megan Fox with a supernatural appetite? The EW Pop Culture Personality Test. Brody submitted to one and had a couple of friends over in case he needed backup…

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: The best concert you’ve ever seen?
ADAM BRODY: My first. I saw Kris Kross in the front row. We were the same age. It’s also the best seats I’ve ever had at a concert to this day.

Did you wear your clothes backwards?
I didn’t, but I admired the fact that they did greatly?

The most embarrassing song on your iPod?
“Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head.” It was in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, I like that. But it doesn’t get the party started, that’s for sure.

Adam Brody says he had a blast playing the lead singer of a rock ‘n roll band who passes through a small town looking for a virgin to sacrifice in Jennifer’s Body, a horror comedy directed by Karyn Kusama and written by Diablo Cody. Brody joined the film’s two female stars, Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried, Cody, Kusama, and Johnny Simmons (he plays Seyfried’s boyfriend) at a special fan event in LA to kick off the release of the 20th Century Fox film. Before a public Q&A and a an autograph session, Brody chatted about his character and the appeal of Jennifer’s Body.

Adam Brody Interview

What prep did you do? Did you study bands or rock stars?

Adam Brody: “We tried for a little Brandon Flowers, maybe a little Morrissey for a second. Then there’s Maroon 5 and other good stuff.”

Was it the fact it was a darker film that appealed to you?
Adam Brody: “It wasn’t, actually. I mean, it’s nice that it was sort of a departure, but that’s kind of a happy accident. Really, I’m just looking for, I want to work with intelligent people and look for scripts that I think are intelligent and surprising.”

Jennifer’s Body Set Visit from 2008

Q: We saw you shooting some of your scenes today as “the rock star” in the bar. Looks like fun. Where you channeling anybody?

Adam Brody: There’s a later performance where I don’t have a guitar and there is a bigger stage that I can walk around, so I liked to think of myself as Morrissey in that. In this one I don’t know as much… actually this one, I don’t have much room to move around. So no one specific… I’m just a singer.

Q: Can you tell me your character is, and what you play?

Brody: Sure. I play Nikolai and he is a singer in a band. He is a front man and he aspires to fame and fortune and he goes to great lengths to achieve it. But not through traditional channels, more like sacrificing a virgin. Like maybe ambiguously burning this entire bar down. It’s a longshot, but you have to try everything.

Q: What’s it like playing the bad guy?

Brody: It’s really fun, you know, partially because bad guys tend to be kind of powerful. So that’s kind of fun to be the leader and kind of be in control of the situation. My character, in most of the scenes, is kind of in control of the situation. It’s fun. That’s a different thing. Jason Reitman and Dan Dubiecki are producing this movie, and I was in Thank You For Smoking, so I know them from that. And they have become friends of mine.

Adam did some press junket interviews with his co-star Amanda Seyfried recently. Here’s all the ones I can find so far!

Screencaps to come soon!

Adam Brody is branching out, venturing far from “The O.C.” to portray a murderous musician in the horror satire “Jennifer’s Body.”The tale of teen angst and cannibalism, which was written by Oscar winner Diablo Cody (”Juno”) and directed by Karyn Kusama (”Girlfight”), is not the standard high school slasher film. While women are typically victims in the genre, this movie features a female killer who stalks boys. Megan Fox stars as Jennifer, who turns evil after an encounter with Brody’s character. The actor welcomed the opportunity to play a darker role after years of portraying an insecure comic-book fan on “The O.C.”

The 29-year-old looks forward to future roles as sociopaths, but next up is a Kevin Smith cop comedy, “A Couple of Dicks,” in which he plays a detective apprentice alongside Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan. We sat down with Brody in a hotel suite during a “Jennifer’s Body” press day at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Q. This movie is brutal, but it’s also funny, and horror comedy is a really good genre.

A. To me, “The Shining” is funny.

Q. “Silence of the Lambs,” laugh riot.

A. There are jokes in that. Anthony Hopkins is funny.
