Scarlett gets film fever
Scarlett Johansson will star in two high-profile new features next year.
Dec 9 2005
Scarlett Johansson, soon to be seen in Woody Allen thriller 'Match Point', has signed up to star in two eagerly anticipated new projects.
First up is 'The Prestige', Christopher Nolan's period piece about two warring magicians in 19th century London that stars Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine and David Bowie.
Johansson will play Olivia, a magician's assistant who works for both the illusionists in question.
After that the blonde bombshell will star in 'Napoleon and Betsy' for writer director Benjamin Ross ('The Young Poisoner's Handbook').
The film will tell the true story of Napoleon's final years, as seen through the eyes of Johansson's character, an English girl he falls in love with.
And with big budget epics 'Borgia' and 'Amazon' to fit into her busy schedule, as well romantic comedy 'The Nanny Diaries', it seems that young Scarlett will be a busy girl in the next few months.
