Miss Scarlett

Aug 10, 2010

Scarlett Johansson is to play Vince Vaughn’s lover in a new movie. The 25-year-old actress is reportedly in talks to appear in Old St. Louis as a secretary who is secretly romancing a travelling salesman. In the comedy drama, Vince’s divorced businessman character tries to combine his latest cross-country work trip with an attempt to reconcile with the teenage daughter he rarely sees. Kick-Ass actress Chloe Moretz is rumoured to be in the frame to play the daughter. However, if Scarlett does sign up for the role, it could put her rumoured appearance in Gravity in doubt as there would be a likely schedule clash, with both slated to begin production in October. It has now been claimed that Gossip Girl actress Blake Lively may take over the female lead in the space-set thriller, starring opposite Robert Downey Jr. if Scarlett drops out of the project.

Luna the whale film to be reworked

Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson have announced they will be executive producers of a film about Luna, the young killer whale who once lived in Nootka Sound off Vancouver Island. Reynolds also will narrate the new documentary about the whale, known for his friendly approaches to humans, according to a new website set up about the film. The Vancouver-born actor, who married Johansson last year near the whale’s home, is working with Eric Desatnik, founder of the Environmental Film Festival at Yale, who first drew their attention to the film. The project is to be titled The Whale. They will be reworking the 2007 documentary Saving Luna, by B.C. filmmakers Suzanne Chisholm and Michael Parfit.
The whale appeared to have been separated from his pod and in 2001 began approaching humans and boaters, sparking conflict between those who thought him charming and those who saw him as a nuisance. Conservationists, boaters, fishermen and the provincial government weighed in on what to do about him, before he was killed in 2006 by a boat propeller in heavy weather.
Saving Luna began as an assignment in 2004 to visit Nootka Sound for Smithsonian magazine and went on to be a feature-length documentary. The film won prizes at film festivals around the world and was screened on CBC’s The Passionate Eye last year. However, as an indie film it did not get widespread distribution. The filmmakers have agreed to the reworking to get the story of The Whale out to a wider audience, they told the Vancouver Sun.

Scarlett Johansson Always Ready To Shop

Scarlett Johansson always has time for shopping. The Iron Man 2 actress – who is married to Green Lantern actor Ryan Reynolds – insists her profession doesn’t keep her as busy as it may seem and she often goes long periods without work. She explained: “I don’t have the busiest agenda. I’m just an actress for hire. So I have months and months where I just sit around and wait for jobs. There’s always time for shopping”. For those times she is working, Scarlett talked about her ideal wardrobe for a movie career that takes her all over the world. She said: “When I’m travelling the most important things is to pack items that go easily from day to night. So that could be a nice easy jacket or blazer, a pair of black trousers, boots, and a dress that can be worn with leggings.” Scarlett has previously admitted that she enjoys having fun with fashion but doesn’t think her style is any different to that of other women. She said: “I’m a girl – of course I like getting dressed up. I’m a girlie girl, I like clothes, fashion and all that stuff. It’s fun. “But I think I dress like a regular girl from New York.”

‘The Avengers’ Cast Announced

Joss Whedon has announced the cast for The Avengers. The director took to the stage at the Comic-Con event in San Diego on Saturday (July 24), to show the crowd the entire principal cast for the comic book-adaptation movie, including Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Clark Gregg, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Natalie Portman and Jeremy Renner. Whedon told MTV News: “The energy is extraordinary. This is an extremely collaborative, supportive intelligent cast; they’re very sweet. “They’re not challenging each other, they’re just enjoying each other and ready to get into it. And that’s an exciting atmosphere. “I even said, ‘Don’t do it if we can’t make the deal with these actors.’ I desperately wanted this exact crew for the movie and we didn’t know until Saturday morning that it was going to happen, and that’s because of the extraordinarily hard work and trust from people who aren’t me.” Chris Evans will be playing Captain America, Chris Hemsworth will be playing Thor and Robert Downey Jr. will be playing Iron Man, roles they have already signed up for in separate movies. Little is known about the plot of the movie, which is due for release in summer 2012.

Scarlett Johansson Joins Cuaron’s Gravity

After a critically acclaimed Broadway turn earlier this year and another hit movie under her belt (Iron Man 2), Scarlett Johansson has at last picked up a new film gig. The New York Daily News reports that she’ll co-star in Alfonso Cuaron’s planned 3D sci-fi opus Gravity with Robert Downey Jr., who was set for the film a few months back. Johansson has reportedly “verbally agreed” to play “a woman who attempts to make her way back to earth after a satellite crash sets off a chain reaction of further crashes.” Based on that short description, I would assume that Downey Jr. will be her man back on Earth that she’s trying to get back to. While I felt that Iron Man 2 was among the worst of Summer 2010, I know that both Johansson and Downey are top-quality performers and they deserve a chance to make up for the dismal Marvel sequel with a film of significantly higher quality like Gravity promises to be. Though we now know who will topline the film, little else has been revealed about it’s plot. Most of the attention that Gravity has gotten is a result of the ambitious visual style that Cuaron aims to deliver. The filmmaker has been claiming that it’s “the most ambitious film, technology-wise, since Avatar”, with a mind-blowing 20 minute take rumored to open the movie. The brain boggles over exactly what that 20-minute sequence would look like; with an incredibly talented director like Cuaron at the helm, who hasn’t made a film since 2006′s Children Of Men (which had it’s own set of stunning visuals), this could be a modern masterpiece in the making. Gravity is scheduled to begin shooting later this summer for a tentative 2012 release.
