“Summer Crossing”, an adaptation of Truman Capote’s lost novella, is headed for the bigscreen as the directorial debut of Scarlett Johansson.
Project’s being produced by Barry Spikings, who won an Oscar for “The Deer Hunter,” and executive produced by Peter D. Graves in conjunction with the Truman Capote Literary Trust and its trustee Alan Schwartz.
Screenwriter and New York playwright Tristine Skyler is adapting the Capote novella.
“Summer Crossing” novella is set in New York when Gotham was emerging from the trauma of World War II and centers on an 18-year-old girl breaking free of her rich, smothering, family to discover her own identity and sexuality.
“Summer Crossing” was written by Capote during the 1940s and then lost for half a century before it was recovered and published.
Johannson told Women’s Wear Daily in September that she planned to direct the movie. She’ll be seen next in “We Bought a Zoo,” “Under the Skin” and “The Avengers.”
簡單地說，她最近拍完了幾部電影，接著計畫當起導演來了。
她打算拍一部改編自楚門卡波帝的小說《SUMMER CROSSING》的電影。而且本片將由曾製作過《越戰獵鹿人》的BARRY SPIKINGS監製。
《SUMMER CROSSING》是楚門卡波帝於四零年代寫成的短篇小說，但失傳了近半個世紀才被發掘並出版。內容是關於一名於二戰後日漸興起的紐約市裡一名十八歲的女孩，如何從富有而悶絕的家庭桎梏中掙脫，進而發現自我與情慾的故事。
此外，我們最近可以在“We Bought a Zoo”、“Under the Skin”、“The Avengers（復仇者聯盟）”這三部電影中看到SCARLETT……^^
