Scarlett Johansson has signed on to play a man eating alien seductress in Under the Skin.
“Johansson plays an alien on earth, disguised as the perfect aesthetic form of a mesmerizing woman. She scours remote highways and desolate scenery looking to use her greatest weapon to snare human prey — her voracious sexuality.”
But, wait, there’s more. “She is deadly efficient, but over time becomes drawn to and changed by the complexity of life on earth. With this new found humanity and weakening alien resolve, she finds herself on a collision course with her own kind. Taking her point of view throughout, the film presents a unique look at our world through alien eyes.”
I wonder if that was in the casting sheet?
“Seeking the perfect aesthetic form of a mesmerizing woman”
Now the premise does sound like a cheap marketing ploy playing on Johansson’s sex appeal, likely putting her in distractingly sexy and revealing outfits, acting all appealing to lure men into her clutches. Only to have to fight it out with another super sex alien seductress ALSO in super sexy and revealing outfits.
And I see nothing wrong with that.
