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.
Making music wasn’t the best idea Scarlett Johansson’s ever had, but at least she’s spared us the pain and torture of a tour. She has decided that there will be no promotional tour for her new album, ‘Anywhere I Lay My Head.’ Her debut album, which was a collection of Tom Waits covers, hit shelves on May 19th. ScarJo, who recently admitted she suffers from stagefright has ruled any future gigs even though she was rumored to be performing at summer music festivals.
A spokesman for her record label Warner Music says, It’s purely a hobby for her. Now that she’s engaged as well (to actor Ryan Reynolds) the opportunities seem to have become even more limited. If it was a hobby, why the hell release an album? Shoulda kept it for her ears only.
SCARLETT JOHANSSON snubbed the premiere of WOODY ALLEN's latest movie VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA at the Cannes International Film Festival after movies bosses reportedly refused to cater to her diva demands. The blonde beauty - who stars in the new movie alongside Penelope Cruz - was expected to grace the red carpet at the French festival on Saturday (17May08), but missed the prestigious premiere amid rumours movie bosses at the French arm of Warner Bros Films - the production's distributors - reportedly denied her extravagant hospitality expectations. According to British newspaper the Daily Mail, the Lost In Translation star made a string of demands to ensure her appearance at the renowned festival - including a $8,000 (GBP4,000) a day make-up artist. Reports also suggest Johansson was unwilling to stay at a luxurious central Cannes hotel with director Allen and co-star Penelope Cruz, preferring a suite at a hotel 30 miles away. A source tells the publication, "While Woody's terribly fond of Scarlett, he was a little upset that she wasn't being a team player." Johansson's male-star, Spanish Oscar-winner Javier Bardem, also missed the movie's Cannes premiere on Saturday, citing personal family reasons for his non-appearance.
About two weeks from now, 23-year-old Hollywood screen siren Scarlett Johansson will release her debut album, Anywhere I Lay My Head. People.com says that the album mostly consists of Tom Waits covers, as well as “Song for Jo,” a track that Johansson wrote with her producer, TV on the Radio’s David Andrew Sitek. The first single, “Falling Down,” and “Fannin Street” have David Bowie singing backup.
Describing “Song for Jo,” Johansson says, “It was a memory of someone that's very close to me: a vague and blissful memory of my wanton youth or whatever. It's a song about friendship, I think.” He calls her sound “Tinkerbell on cough syrup.”
When asked about what her fans will think as she includes music to her résumé, she says, “I never worry about that kind of thing. I hope people enjoy it.” But why Tom Waits? “I'm not trying to prove anything on this album,” Johansson says in a statement that’s on People.com. “I just love [Tom Waits's] music.” Scarlett Johansson recently announced her engagement to Ryan Reynolds. She will be in Woody Allen’s Vicky Christina Barcelona next. Her album, Anywhere I Lay My Head is available May 20 on Rhino Records.
FITSNews - April 30, 2008 - Surpise … actress Scarlett Johansson is no longer just a movie star, she’s a recording artist, too! Well … if you consider someone butchering a bunch of Tom Waits covers to be “art.” Which we do, of course, provided they have Scarlett’s knockers. The good news for Johansson (other than her rack) is that there are some incredibly melodic moments on her new Anywhere I Lay My Head album … the bad news is that all of them occur when she’s not singing.
We know with the economy tanking the way it is there’s a growing market for depressing down-tempo crap like this, but even people who want to kill themselves can appreciate decent vocals. Johansson’s voice? The best she can hope for is that the CIA buys a bunch of these CD’s to play while they’re interrogating al Queda suspects or something. “You don’t know where Makmoud’s dirty bomb is? Well, let’s just see what Miss Johansson has to say about that (dum-dum-dum).” Hell, this album doesn’t even hit stores for another three weeks and it’s probably already breaking the Geneva Convention.
