Scarlett thinks the third time is the charm

Scarlett Johansson is one, twice, three times a leading lady for director Woody Allen. ScarJo will star in Allen's newest project, a still-untitled movie to be shot in Spain this summer. She will join Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem, who have already signed on to the cast. Scarlett and Penelope together? ¡Sí, sí! I am already making up my own movie in my head.

This will be the 22-year actress's third starring role in the last four films by the 71-year-old director. Their other collaborations were 2005's Match Point and 2006's Scoop. With this new part, Scarlett joins the ranks of Allen's past muses like Diane Keaton and Mia Farrow. But let us sincerely hope that she does not follow their lead on the whole dating-the-director thing. 'Cause, uh, ewww.

EEEE!

I read about this the other day and could hardly contain my excitement!  I loved Match Point and Scoop.  And Penelope and Scarlett in the same movie??  Plus that movie is directed by Woody Allen?? Pardon me whilst I drool.

hmmmm

Woody Allen and his crazy mind nabbed Penelope and Scarlett ok I'm game. I did however also enjoy Match Point and the low profile Melinda and Melinda. I wonder how neurotic this film will be, or maybe not be... we'll see.

domesticgoddess, let me join you on the drooling matter. Gotta love Woody Allen and Scarlett Johansson! The problem is that I like her better with her Lost in Translation look. When she's trying to be sexy, it doesn't work for me. And how I miss Woody Allen opposite Diane Keaton... *sigh*

Like Scarlett, hate Allen

Good luck to Scarlett, but I can't stand Woody Allen.  As a director, I have no use for him.....whenever I've tried to watch some of his films, I am bored and by no means impressed with his story-telling abilities.  As a person, I have no respect for him at all since his earlier days, which don't go away over time because he puts out more movies with famous actors.  He's been fortunate to have a lot of talented and creative actors/actresses to work with, but none of them, including Scarlett, changes by opinion of Allen.
