Scarlett Johansson is a sexy beast. It’s only fitting, then, that one of her next films could be from Jonathan Glazer, the director of Sexy Beast.
Under the Skin, based on a novel by Michel Faber, is being shopped around the American Film Market as a potential vehicle for Johansson as a alien who disguises itself as a sexy women so that it can snare human prey to munch down on. The alien, though, eventually has second thoughts about its appetite — setting it on a collision course with its own species. The film would apparently be told through the alien’s eyes.
Glazer, in addition to directing Sexy Beast, helmed the hauntingly beautiful Birth plus a bevy of memorable music videos including Radiohead’s “Karma Police.”
A spring start is hopeful for the production.
