Scarlett Johansson has aspirations to transition this acting gig of hers into directing. Sigh…don’t they all say that? Well she recently had a chance to direct a segment of New York, I Love You and it ended up being “unwatchable.”
According to an insider, “It was really bad, so it was cut.”
In a face-saving move, the movie’s producer Emmanuel Benbihy had a kinder spin:
“Scarlett presented me with an extremely compelling, albeit unconventional, narrative that appeared as though it would not necessarily conform to the overall approach of the entire collective . . . However, I was very much moved by her vision and I did not want to pass on the opportunity to help her develop it. All that matters to me is the genuine movie language of the author.”
He continued: “Scarlett and I nonetheless agreed that a final determination of its appropriateness in the context of the other contributions and the overall story would be best made in the editorial process. And after months of editing . . . I had to admit that there were editorial decisions to be made in the interest of serving the overall narrative and composition that resulted in previously filmed scenes and footage not getting used.”
Translation? It sucked.
I love me some Scarlett Johansson, but some people need to keep their artistic interests self-contained.
Well. ya gotta start somewhere. Hopefully she learned something! Maybe she needs to talk to Ron Howard.
Ok. Now THAT is how you answer a question that you don’t want to. Take note, Miss California.
Hilarious! That was some of the best spin I’ve seen in a long time. I have to ask myself if he was chuckling as he wrote it.
Now THAT is a spin. I wanna learn how to talk that way.
She looks Debbie Mazar-ish in this picture.
