De 21-jarige actrice Scarlett Johansson, binnenkort te zien in de nieuwe actiefilm The Island van regisseur Michael Bay (The Rock), had onlangs een interview met ComingSoon waarin ze vertelt over haar carrière en de overstap van 'kleine producties' (zoals Lost in Translation, Ghost World en Girl with a Pearl Earring) naar het commerciëlere werk. Hoe moeilijk was die keuze?
[eng]It wasn't difficult; it was very easy. I think every film I have done is very different, and I am constantly playing different characters with different kinds of directors. For me, I love genre films. If they are good, they do the trick, and you are kind of removed from your life for a couple of hours. I had just never found one that I thought was good enough. You figure if you are going to do an action film, or a thriller or a science fiction film, you know it had better be the right one, 'cause it is not like you can do tons of them. Of course, when I heard that Michael was attached to something, it was very interesting for me because he does it so well. He is one of about two or three people that can do it really well and do it right. I figured if you are going to do it, you may as well do it right. So it was easy for me, I was working on "Match Point" in London and they were shooting in a month so I said sign me up. It was very easy. No turmoil.[/eng]
The Island verschijnt in Nederland op 11 augustus in de bioscopen.
