ScarJo Makes a Date with Woody... and Broadway?
Having starred in
Match Point (good) and
Scoop (um,
Match Point was good),
Scarlett Johansson is set to shoot her third
Woody Allen film. As-yet-untitled, the pic also stars Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, and will start production in July in Spain,
Variety reports.
For an encore, ScarJo might head south... meaning, as the star of a new Broadway staging of
South Pacific, to open in January 2008, the
New York Post hears. Also on the wish list to play Nellie Forbush are
Reese Witherspoon and
Kelli O'Hara, though Scarlett, once ardently wooed to front Andrew Lloyd Webber's West End revival of
The Sound of Music, is said to be the fave.
My new
Trivial Matt'rs blog entry
talks about ScarJo's naughty turn in J.T.'s music video.
