Johansson set to film in Glasgow



Scarlett Johansson is to swap the sunny climes of California for a Scottish winter.

The Tinseltown beauty is set to shoot sci-fi adventure Under The Skin with British director Jonathan Glazer around Glasgow and other Scottish locations in October, reported CineEuropa.

In the film, based on Michel Faber's eponymous novel and adapted by Walter Campbell, Scarlett plays an alien on earth - disguised as a sultry bombshell - who uses her sexuality to kill humans.

Glen Basner, CEO of FilmNation, who is handling international sales of the film, said: "We're so very excited to be working on this arrestingly original movie. How could we pass up the chance to work with a visionary director like Jonathan, especially when combined with the intriguing notion of Scarlett Johansson as a ruthless alien seductress?"

Jonathan, who previously directed Sexy Beast with Ray Winstone and Ben Kingsley, is currently casting other roles in Under The Skin in Scotland.
