Scarlett plans to direct her own film
Scarlett Johansson wants to direct her own film. The 27-year-old star has been working on her own feature film “for years,” and is keen to challenge herself.
She said, “I would like to direct a feature. I’ve been developing it for years. It’s good. I just want to work on stuff that’s challenging to me, physically, emotionally. I don’t want to do anything that doesn’t scare me a little bit.”
The Avengers Assemble actress is looking to play “established” characters in future movies, and she has her sights set on portraying silent film star Norma Desmond in a remake of 1950 movie Sunset Boulevard.
She added to Empire magazine, “As I get older I sort of see that I’m able to kind of move away from characters that are transitional. I’m now looking at characters, women, that are established and are where they are because of where they came from and have a background.”
“Actors are always asked to do things that are absolutely ludicrous, whether you’re rappelling down the side of a building or crawling through the woods or fulfilling yourself emotionally. I want to play Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard someday. But I need a couple more years,” she said.
