Writer-director Jonathan Glazer has cast Scarlett Johansson in his newest science-fiction drama UNDER THE SKIN. Glazer is best known for the smart and original SEXY BEAST and BIRTH. FilmNation CEO Glen Basner had this to say about the film.
“Johansson plays an alien on earth, disguised as the perfect aesthetic form of a mesmerizing woman. She scours remote highways and desolate scenery looking to use her greatest weapon to snare human prey — her voracious sexuality. She is deadly efficient, but over time becomes drawn to and changed by the complexity of life on earth. With this new found humanity and weakening alien resolve, she finds herself on a collision course with her own kind. Taking her point of view throughout, the film presents a unique look at our world through alien eyes.”
This sounds very silly B-movie sci-fi but I enjoy those types of films so I won’t judge it yet. Johansson had IRON MAN 2 this past summer and will reprise her role for THE AVENGERS. Do you think Johansson is properly cast as the perfect woman?
