Scarlett Johansson is set to make her debut in the director’s chair with the big screen adaptation of a Truman Capote novella called Summer Crossing.
Summer Crossing is believed to be Capote’s first ever book and Johansson has chosen it as her first project as director.
Capote reportedly was so unhappy with the novella that he destroyed the manuscript but it was discovered over 50 years later and published in 2005.
The book follows a teenage girl living in New York after World War II and charts her struggle to break away from her respectable family in order to discover her own identity and sexuality.
Johansson will next be seen in We Bought a Zoo, Under the Skin and The Avengers.
Scarlett recently revealed that the naked photos that were leaked online of her were taken for her ex-husband Ryan Reynolds .
‘They were sent to my husband. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not like I was shooting a porno â although there’s nothing wrong with that either,’ she told Vanity Fair.
Ryan and Scarlett met shortly after his split from singer Alanis Morissette and they were engaged a few months later in 2008.
