- SUMMER CROSSING WITH AN AVENGER
 |
| Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow |
Scarlett Johansson has got a big year ahead. She will be
appearing in Cameron Crowe’s We Bought A Zoo, Jonathan Glazer's sci-fi Under
The Skin and a little something called The Avengers.
However, the Beautiful talent actress will be stepping
behind the camera, and taking the directorial chair on Summer Crossing.
The film is an adaptation of Truman Capote’s first novel of
the same name, set in New York in 1945. The story follows Grady, a 17-year-old
Protestant from a wealthy family, as she enters a passionate (and somewhat
controversial) affair with a Jewish parking attendant.
“It’s about that first love you have that’s sort of vicious,
in a sense,” Johansson told Vanity Fair. “It’s a hard sell because it’s a
period film, it takes place in New York, and there’s no room for a big name.
We’ll see. Fingers crossed.”
The star also revealed that she won’t be appearing in the
film herself, and will instead be focusing on the business of pointing the
camera. However, despite the confidence required to get this one off the
ground, Johansson has also spoken of the doubts that plagued her ahead of We
Bought A Zoo.
“I went into We Bought A Zoo and I didn’t know how to do it,
exactly,” she said. “I had ideas and things I wanted to do, but I was a little
bit raw. I felt out of practice and a bit exposed. I was feeling very
protective of myself. But Cameron’s world was very welcoming.”
Summer Crossing is expected to arrive in 2014.
