SCARLETT TO STAR IN A NEW FILM ABOUT DIAMONDS’ THIEVES

Scarlett Johansson has left such a good impression on music video director Samuel Bayer (Justin Timerlake’s What Goes Around..Comes Around) that she was cast for his upcoming heist film about diamonds’ thieves. ‘Brilliance’ would be Bayer’s directorial debut, scheduled for a late 2008/early 2009 release.Talking about his choice for Scarlett, Bayer  told MTV:  “Scarlett is one of the sexiest actresses around, and she can just become her characters. Look at what she did during the Corvette scene, which a lot of people won’t catch. She was shooting that on a green screen, and right before we were rolling, she was laughing. We start, and she’s crying. It was just unbelievable. It’s stuff like that which makes you know someone’s a star.”
