After some research, it turned out that the deja vu inspiration is an Angelina Jolie photo that shows Jolie seductively licking the blood off her lip. Megan Fox's blood red luscious lips are the focus of the *Jennifer's Body* movie poster. The dripping blood is a nod to Fox's character, Jennifer, a newly possessed cheerleader who kills her male classmates. The film is written by Juno's Oscar winning screenwriter Diablo Cody. But the media's fascination with blood does not stop there. The promo poster for [HBO's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaseline-x-the-white-lotus) new [vampire series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vampire-slayer-collection), **True Blood**, has just been unveiled. It also draws a striking resemblance to the older Jolie photo. True Blood is by the creators of the HBO cult favorite Six Feet Under. It starts on September 7. Check out the 6th image for Anna Paquin (from X-Men), who plays Sookie Stackhouse, a mind reader in True Blood. HBO + Vampires = My New Favorite Show.
