Scarlett Johansson in \'Match Point\'

Scarlett Johansson in \'Match Point\'

The extremely busy, incredibly talented Scarlett Johansson has added another pic to her rather loaded movie slate. She’ll be making love to a diminutive, power-crazed dictator. No it isn’t Hitler.

According to Variety, Scarlett is set to star in Benjamin Ross’s ‘Napoleon and Betsy’. It’s a film about Bonaparte’s last years on St. Helena as seen through the view of a young English girl he falls in love with. Somehow the creepy old man thing is less of a problem when you’re a celebrity the caliber of the short dead dude from ‘Bill & Ted’.

The next place you can see Scarlett is in the Woody Allen pic ‘Match Point’, being released this fall for your Oscar consideration. She’s also just finished filming ‘The Black Dahlia’ for Brian DePalma. She’ll follow that up with a project in which she portrays one of the people that cursed Wilby Daniels in the movie ‘Borgia’ and then she’ll put on a skimpy loincloth to kick ass in ‘Amazon’.
