Sep 9, 2005, 15:34 GMT

Scarlett Johansson looks set to play singing nun Maria in a new stage version of 'The Sound of Music'.The 'Lost In Translation' actress is reportedly in talks with composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, whose hit musicals include 'Cats' and 'Evita', about taking on the role made famous by Julie Andrews in the classic 1965 film.According to Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, Lloyd Webber believes Scarlett will be perfect for the part, telling friends: "She sings well, certainly as well as anyone else."The new 'Sound of Music' - which tells the story of a nun who is sent to look after the seven Von Trapp children in wartime Austria - is set to be staged at the London Palladium theatre next year.Scarlett, who recently filmed two Woody Allen movies in London, is not the first Hollywood star to take to the West End stage.Her 'The Island' co-star Ewan McGregor is currently appearing in hit musical 'Guys and Dolls', while other movie stars to tread the boards include Gwyneth Paltrow, Matt Damon and Kevin Spacey.Copyright 2005 BANG Media International
