Scarlett Johansson earned quite a name for herself in front of the camera and now Scarlett Johansson is gearing up for her directorial debut.

Scarlett Johansson will direct an adaptation of Truman Capote’s first novel “Summer Crossing,” and the distribution rights are currently being peddled at the 66th Cannes Film Festival.

Scarlett explained, “Several years ago I began working alongside the Capote estate and writer Tristine Skylar to adapt Summer Crossing, an inspired early work of Truman’s which has long captured my heart. Being able to bring this story to the screen as my full-length directorial debut is a life dream and deep privilege.”

Per the synopsis, “A 17-year-old debutant opts out of her parents’ Parisian travels to foster a romance with a Jewish valet parking attendant in the middle of a 1945 summer NYC heat wave.”
