Apple and A24's Next Project: BRIDE, Starring Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson to Star in ‘Bride’ for Apple, A24 - Variety:
Scarlett Johansson will produce and star in the science-fiction drama “Bride" for Apple and A24 from director SebastiÁ¡n Lelio.“Bride" follows a woman created to be an ideal wife — the singular obsession of a brilliant entrepreneur. When she rejects her creator, she’s forced to flee her confined existence, confronting a world that sees her as a monster. While on the run, she finds her true identity, her surprising power and the strength to remake herself as her own creation.
Johansson and Jonathan Lia will produce “Bride" through their company, These Pictures. Keenan Flynn will co-produce. Lauren Schuker Blum (“Orange Is the New Black"), Rebecca Angelo (“Wolfman") and Lelio are on board to write the script.
So it’s a 21st century reinterpretation of The Bride of Frankenstein, and Scarlett Johansson isn’t playing Asian. Win-win.
