Scarlett Johansson to Become a Director

Many fans might know Scarlett Johansson from her beauty and sexiness shown in pair with her excellence of acting skill. But this does not mean what is all that she has, since the actress has decided to go behind the camera and joined many other stars continuing their career as a movie director. There are already many actors and actresses that join the force behind the camera after they obtain a great success in acting world. Apparently, Scarlett Johansson is also interested to follow their success, by being planned to direct a movie adapted from a novel by Truman Capote titled Summer Crossing.

 

The name of Truman Capote will of course be a shock to be taken into wide screen by a first time director. But Scarlett Johansson is known for her ambition, determination and hard work. To help her gaining success in directing the new movie, the beautiful actress has asked for directions from many famous filmmakers. Among many others, Scarlett is said to get closer to Christopher Nolan, Woody Allen, Cameron Crowe, The Coen Brothers and some others. And it is not enough for ScarJo, seeing that she also asks for a help from producer Barry Spikings and Peter D. Graves who are known as their success in Oscar.

Scarlett Johansson will likely get her way smoothly in directing Summer Crossing. One of the reasons is the great support from Truman Capote Literary Trust, for the actress to direct and take the author’s first novel into big screen. Telling the love story of a rich young girl with a parking lot attendant, the New-York-based novel has to take a long journey from drafting in 1943 and releasing in 2005. Unfortunately, Scarlett will not be behind the camera at anytime soon, since the actress is currently involved in Under The Skin which is still in the process of production.
