Scarlett Johansson has talk about her role in latest movie “Under the Skin” she said :
“The character itself is not really what drew me in” She said
Scarlett describe how she feel when read the script
“The themes of the film weren’t as epic as I think they feel now, It took me several weeks of shooting to figure out what I was playing. I think it was impossible to get a handle on that character without having like three weeks of footage under our belt. Just to know, what has she experienced? What’s her reaction?”
“I think the idea of self, especially as I get older — I think I’m not afraid to ask myself questions about my true self,” she says. “I think when you get older you start to get curious about yourself in a different way, not just how can I get what I want? But more of the existential questions of what do I like? Why does this bother me? What don’t I like about myself that I’m afraid to admit? Or, where are my strengths and weaknesses, and why does it make me uncomfortable to acknowledge them?”
She washed herself to be sure she sees each new knowledge about reference memory is not as challenging
“I spent two weeks convincing everyone on the production that this was a terrible idea,” Johannson says.
“It’s unsafe. Who knows what could happen? The first [assistant director] was on my side. The producer said, ‘I don’t know what Jonathan is thinking!’ Then I get a knock on my door. ‘Are you ready to get in the van?’ “She reluctantly went along, driving the van wearing a cheap wig and fur coat with Glazer and the crew stuffed in the back. He began suggesting people for her to pull up to. One she noticed was talking to himself; another had a knife. She began looking for people who wouldn’t pose a threat and didn’t look like they were going home to their families. “That looks like a lonely drifter. There’s a possibility. Then I realized I know how to do this better than Jonathan does, and I can just let him witness it happening.”
