Scarlett (pant pant) Johanssen to join Batman, Wolverine & the Man Who Fell To Earth in THE PRESTIGE!

Published at:  Dec 10, 2005 1:44:40 AM CST

Harry here - as if THE PRESTIGE couldn't get more like its title, it goes and lands one of the hottest gimme gimme gimme girls in the biz - Scarlett Johanssen has been cast in Christopher Nolan's eagerly anticipated, by sane literate geeks, film based on the amazing novel THE PRESTIGE about a pair of dueling magicians, Tesla and really cool sparks. Joining Bowie, Jackman and Bale - this is really shaping up to be one of the coolest projects out there after THE FOUNTAIN.



Empire hit the story here first!



Scarlett Johanssen is set to join Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, and David Bowie in the cast of Nolan's film, not long after working with Jackman on Woody Allen's "Scoop". She plays a magician's assistant who works for both Jackman and Bale's characters.

    by seppukudkurosawa

    and Scarlott remains regular old Scarlott? Blatent sexism there Harry. I think that she should henceforth be referred to by her most famous role, the character loved world-wide by her adoring fans, the one role she's played up until now that will never fade into the nethers of history; it should be obvious by now that I'm referring to Mindy in the Spongebob Squarepants Movie.

    and that's only because Scarlett Johanssen says she'd rather play hide the salami with old farts. That's right old farts, keep believing that Scarlett Johanssen is gonna show up at your place and try to coax some life into your old limp bean.

    Ok... this movie has been on that Looks Damn Good shelf for a while. Perhaps it's due to collage and the crazy semester that it hasn't regestered that it really belongs on the "FUCKING GOLD SHOW UP OPENING DAY SHELF" but I think it just made it. I mean... that's one fucking kickass line up. Damn... and it's good to have some Bowie on the screen. He's always been fun... just spare us the tights. Peace.

    by itchy

    then bring on the Richard Simmon's shorts and a "Choose Rainbow" shirt, because I'm ready to be the grand marshal of the pride parade. I suppose it makes me doubly gay because I want to bang her ass, too ? What does it mean when I say I have fantasies about a threesome with her and Thora Birch from Ghostworld ? Good thing I tune into ACIN for free psychoanalysis.

    So I was writing the paper for one of my classes about how I used to set myself on fire to amuse people on camping trips when the news came on and they showed the clip. Just found out we lost him a few minutes ago... Damn... but like someone else said, at least he's not in pain anymore, which is good. God was he one funny motherfucker. He and Lenny, the godfathers of modern standup... they must be having a blast up in da clouds. Shit. If there ain't a god then I'm sure it would make itself exist just so it could get in on that action. Gonna miss ya man. Peace.

    For what it's worth... the ending is pretty open for interpetation. Fist time I saw Lost in Translation I thought they just said their goodbyes. The second time I totally thought they were passing numbers or something. I guess if your were looking for some Scarlet Mury action on screen though... well... at least we didn't get to see Mury naked... which really wouldn't have done it for me. Peace.

    Bill having sex with a younger woman on screen could be the fuunniest thing since Clease did the sex eduxation bit in Meaning of Life... It would have fucked up the tone of the film though. Still... good idea for his next picture, if the sober quiet guu number he's bee doing isn't worn out yet. Peace.

    by seppukudkurosawa

    A Silverstone giggle is the equivalent of five hours in the sack with Johanssen. I just recently caught some repeats of her TV series, Miss Match, about an attorney who is a part time dating fixer-upper. Not too bad a show actually. I hope she gets back into the film world soon though, that one with her and Jeff Goldblum, and that one with her and Benicio Del Toro, and that one with her and the director of Fast Times at Ridgmont High were all as watchable as films get. (Hideaway, Excess Baggage and Clueless). She should never have taken that part in Batman and Robin, a career-ruiner if ever there were one.
