Scarlett Johansson is close to joining the cast of Frank Miller’s (Sin City) adaptation of the Will Eisner comic strip series The Spirit, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Johansson is in final negotiations to play the dangerous beauty Silk N. Floss. The character is a sexy and intelligent secretary with a vindictive instinct that makes her the perfect accomplice to the Octopus (played by Samuel L. Jackson), an evil mastermind. Gabriel Macht stars as the title character, a detective who fakes his own death in order to fight crime in Central City as the masked man known as the Spirit. Production is scheduled to start in October, with the film to be released in 2009.
Meanwhile, Johansson has also boarded Ken Kwapis’ ensemble comedy He’s Just Not That Into You and John Curran’s period indie Mary Queen of Scots. Johansson becomes the latest actor to book back-to-back-to-back roles in anticipation of a possible strike.
