Scarlett Johansson

Now that the shooting has begun we are slowly finding out who are the other actors involved in Woody Allen’s film project, working title “Midnight in Barcelona.”

How can I forget Patricia Clarkson, who has been seen with Scarlett on the shooting yesterday, a fine actress whose talents is so immense. Aside from Ms. Clarkson, Rebecca Hall, Kevin Dunn, Pablo Schreiber (Liev’s brother), Carrie Preston, Chris Messina and Abel Folk will keep Scarlett, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem’s company.

Anyway, I found the timetable (complete with the fan’s comments) of the shooting, courtesy of a curious cineaste. (I assumed the film enthusiast is a he.) In his diary, he found himself entranced with Scarlett and quite understood why Woody is so fascinated with the actress.

Then I saw Scarlett Johansson for the third time in my life. In less than a week. Her hair is blonde and quite impressive. What a feeling to see her so close going inside a black van. She looks so wonderful. I understand Woody Allen wants her to be her muse.

He also mentioned that Woody Allen is without a star attitude. The director didn’t mind fetching his own food from the catering vehicle.

No doubt the government of Barcelona is grateful of Woody Allen and Co.’s presence. How about the average citizens? Are they happy that Hollywood is raging their city, which now slowly loses its tradition of practicing siesta because of globalisation?

Hmmmm…

Check out a couple of videos where the people who got interviewed when the crew shot scenes on the beach and at the restaurant were simply amused judging from their faces. (All in Spanish.)

Unlike her contemporaries in Hollywood, she really seems to enjoy what she is doing: being an actress and working hard to stay on top either choosing projects that close to her heart (arty) or films that will just pay her bills (commercial). This what separates Scarlett from other young celebrities in Hollywood.

The only time we get to hear bad press concerning Scarlett is when she changed her style like what did before she flew to Spain making her nose ring visible and a fake tattoo to scare the masses or her admirers.

We don’t hear that she’s a contender to rehab, drown herself in alcohol or take drugs in public, or never let others peep into her privacy. It is as if she only wants you to remember her films.

If she is caught in plain casual clothes, we are almost sure she is only acting. Anyway, what’s wrong with “ditching glamorous good looks“?

Woody Allen, Scarlett Johansson

Like what we have gathered this week, Scarlett has flown to Spain to star in the new Woody Allen’s said to be “love letter” to the European country. If you were in Barcelona right now, you might have a chance to see the actress and the A-list director working on their new project.

Scarlett is Woody’s current flavour of the month. She was in his former films “Scoop” and “Matchpoint.” In the Spanish project, she plays as a tourist in Spain. Hence, images of her holding a camera. Would that be a real working (digital) camera????

According to the news, the shooting will take seven weeks. Aside from Barcelona, other locations will be a one-week stay in the northern Spanish region of Asturias and one day in New York.

Barcelona would be the second European city to feature in a full-length Allen movie.

It is true that tabloid writers are known to exaggerate their stories. They also like to attack actresses who suddenly have gained weight and tend to moralise their stories when they drop down their sizes to 0. It is no-win situation.

So it isn’t surprising at all when Daily Mail wrote “She also appeared unconcerned about revealing a fair expanse of shapely thigh.”

The new Scarlett has been spotted walking around Manhattan sporting a septum ring and a tattoo on her arm. Fake or not, it sends everyone into a frenzy. Hollywood Tuna is so turned off it fears Scarlett wouldn’t top anymore “Sexiest Celeb” list. They are assuming that the 22-year-old is rebelling. Is she?

Okay, here’s the poll and tell me what you think.
