FIRST LOOK: Scarlett Johansson In Under The Skin

This project seems to have gone under the radar but Jonathan Glazer's (Sexy Beast, Birth) adaptation of Michael Faber's novel Under The Skin is currently shooting in Scotland. Surprisingly Scarlett Johansson is in the lead playing an alien who takes on an attractive female form to lure human prey in the Scottish Highlands. The rest of the cast is unknown at this point according to ThePlaylist but I wouldn't be surprised if Glazer was hiring local Scottish actors to fill the other roles.

Johansson To Play Seductive Alien In Under The Skin

Deadline reports that Scarlett Johansson is attached to Under The Skin co-written and directed by Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast, Birth). Johansson plays an alien on earth, disguised as a mesmerizing woman who uses her voracious sexuality to scour remote highways and desolate scenery to snare human prey. Glazer's Sexy Beast is still one of my favorite British gangster pictures so I'm very excited to see him tackle science fiction.
