Scarlett Johansson must like living in the past. She’s currently playing Mary Boleyn in The Other Boleyn Girl and has now signed up for Mary Queen Of Scots.
The story follows the antagonistic (read: bitchy) relationship between Mary (Johansson) and England’s Queen Elizabeth I, who did everything she could to undermine her rule.
Cracker creator Jimmy McGovern wrote the script, but there’s no director or other cast attached yet. While we know she’s just filmed Elizabeth sequel The Golden Age, there’s some part of our psyche that wants the producers to back a truckload of money up to Cate Blanchett’s house and let her Elizabeth duke it out with Johansson.
The plan is to crank the cameras next summer.
