Oh my... Scarlett Johansson is playing a non-Wonder Woman AMAZON warrior?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with probably the most headscratching of all the news that hit tonight. I love Scarlett Johansson and have a big-big crush on her... I don't know if it was Variety's unfortunate use of the word "gladiatrix" or if there's something more, but something doesn't sit right with me on this... The film is called AMAZON and follows the CONAN forumla of a warrior that exacts revenge on an army for destroying their homeland. It's set in 200 B.C. and Moshe Diamant's Signature Pictures has made the deal to finance it as a vehicle for Ms. Johansson, who supposedly mentioned wanting to play an Amazon warrior to co-producers Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci (screenwriters of THE ISLAND). Howard McCain and Dirk Blackman, who just wrote that Viking flick OUTLANDER that Karl Urban is shooting in New Zealand, are writing the script. I dunno about this one... but I will say I'm looking forward for Johansson's outfits.
