I wonder if someone actually questioned the quotes the first time around and Lionsgate thought it would be "fun" to use the actual audio to prove that they came from the film. I know I got a kick out of hearing the sexy voices of Mendes, Johansson, King, and Paulson. I mean, who wouldn't want to hear Scarlett Johansson say "on your knees then" or Jaime King say "come to me lover." What a brilliant marketing stunt! This page has been open for the past few hours on my computer - I can't get enough of it!
The Spirit is both written and directed by legendary comic book author Frank Miller, who previously worked with Robert Rodriguez to direct segments of Sin City. The film is based Will Eisner's newspaper comic strip of the same name that originally debuted in 1940. The Spirit will hit theaters everywhere on December 25th, Christmas Day, later this year. Watch the teaser trailer if you haven't already!
With all the comparisons to JFK that Barack Obama has had lately, it's about time he gets his own Marilyn Monroe. Actress Scarlett Johansson has made her support of Obama no big secret. In the past she's quipped that she's "engaged" to the presumptive Democratic nominee (actually, she's betrothed to actor Ryan Reynolds) and appeared in his star-studded "Yes We Can" YouTube video. Now the Lost in Translation star tells Politico.com that she and Obama are pen pals.
The Daily News is all over the story, declaring on page 3, "OMG! BAM & SCAR JO R CYBER PALS!" with a glam shot of Johansson in a low-cut dress juxtaposed with a photo of Obama boarding a plane. The inevitable backlash is looming. I can already picture the columns in right-wing media: "Obama has time to cyberchat with movie stars, but what does he do for Joe Sixpack?" Considering that the current critiques of the candidate are about his amnesia on when he had his last cigarette and his audacity to hire "D.C. denizens" to assist in his VP search (see Michelle Malkin on page 6 of today's Post), kvetching about shooting off a few e-mails to a movie star could be a quick, glamorous way to impugn Obama. Add a few innuendos and voila!—instant "scandal."
Even Johansson herself understands that her constant campaigning for the Illinois senator could spur a backlash. She tells Politico.com, "Even I’m wary of celebrity endorsements…I don’t want to seem like I’m holier than thou. We all have the same right to vote and, especially in this technical age where we all can broadcast our opinions, we all have the opportunity to entice others to vote…if the spotlight is on me, I might as well try to direct it on things and causes that I believe in." Maybe it's time to dial it down a bit, ScarJo.
London (ANI): Scarlett Johansson made sure that all eyes were on her while she walked the red carpet for the premiere of new Dreamworks production 'Match Point in LA' by flaunting her cleavage. The actress, who recently got engaged to her lucky boyfriend Ryan Reynolds, wore a plunging dress that showed off her magnificent chest in all its glory.
Johansson released her debut album 'Anywhere I Lay My Head' this week and is reportedly so pleased with the disc of Tom Waits covers, she wants the chance to play them live. However, the actress admitted that she'd have to conquer her stage fear first. "It would be sad to not get everybody (band members) together. Whether it's at a festival or somewhere that's kind of fun," The Sun quoted Johansson, as saying.
"(But) I have horrible stage fright, so it would have to be overcome. People approach me (about playing live) and my usual answer is, 'Ah, I'll think about that'. "When I do think about it, I start to get really sweaty and uncomfortable and itchy around the neck," she added.
