From the film adaptation of the Avengers' Black Widow,
American actress Scarlett Johanssen is reportedly being eyed to play the
heroine in another film adaptation, this time for the Japanese work
"Ghost in the Shell."
A report on Deadline.com
said DreamWorks, which is producing the "Ghost in the Shell" film, is
looking at Johansson after talks with original choice Margot Robbie
fizzled.
"It looked like (Robbie) was going to
star in Ghost In The Shell for DreamWorks, but those talks fizzled. I’ve
heard DreamWorks has instead made a $10M offer to Scarlett Johansson,
whose action price has risen to that level after Lucy and her work as
Black Widow," it said.
Robbie is reportedly more likely to appear in the film adaptation of "Suicide Squad," it added.
A separate article on IGN.com
noted the live-action adaptation of "Ghost in the Shell" involves Snow
White and the Huntsman's Rupert Sanders as director and Avi Arad
(Spider-Man), Steven Paul (Ghost Rider), and Mark Sourian (Need for
Speed) as producers.
