Scarlett Johansson has her eyes set on Emma Watson to star in her upcoming directorial debut, SUMMER CROSSING.
Apparently, ScarJo, like the rest of Hollywood, was wildly impressed by Emma’s portrayal of a materialistic teenage thief in THE BLING RING and is looking to scout Emma for her new movie.
SUMMER CROSSING is an adaptation of a novel of the same name by Truman Capote about a 17-year-old who marries a Jewish man in 1940s New York when that was considered controversial. Scarlett was impressed not only with Emma’s acting chops, but with the fact that she so easily portrayed a teenage despite being in her twenties.
Emma is more than honoured to be considered for this movie and is looking forward to further shedding her HARRY POTTER persona.
