LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Megan Fox may spend “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” running from giant robots, but in her next film, she’s the one chasing people down.

In the Diablo Cody-penned “Jennifer’s Body,” due in September, the sexy star plays a literal man-eater – and she told Access Hollywood’s Shaun Robinson on Friday that things get gruesome.

“I start eating the boys in my high school,” Megan said.

Megan’s character joins the undead after a rock band (led by “The OC” star Adam Brody) attempts to sacrifice a virgin – and picks her by mistake.

“Well, in reality, I’m not [a virgin],” Megan said of the role. “So it goes wrong and I get taken over by a demon. I have to stay in this state of [the] undead and to do that, I have to start eating people.”

Calling it “one of the best scripts I’ve ever read,” the star said filming “Jennifer’s Body” was a different experience than “Transformers,” which kept the self-described “not very athletic” star on the run.

“The running was really difficult for me,” Megan said. “We had to run up these giant sand dunes. I was in motorcycle boots and [co-star] Shia [LaBeouf]’s in a pair of Nike Cortezes so he can really run fast. I’m trying to keep up with him and we did it like six times.”

But the shoot wasn’t easy on Shia either – and after he had an on-set eye injury, it brought out some motherly instincts in the 23-year-old star.

“I just wanted to pet it and put ice on it and help him, he’s just a little boy,” she said.

While she may not be a runner, the fit actress told Shaun she does better in the pool.

“My goal was to go to the Olympics for swimming,” she told Shaun. “I was a swimmer, but that’s different than running. I’ve never been a dry land athlete.”

“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” is due on June 24.
