The actress announced this week that she’ll be making her directorial debut next year with Summer Crossing , a coming-of-age tale set in 1940s New York and based on a novella by Breakfast at Tiffany’s author Truman Capote . No word yet on whether or not Scarlett will cast herself in the lead role…or talk herself into doing a nude scene. Scarlett’s far from the first sexy actress to step into the director’s chair- see more after the jump!

Scarlett Johansson to Make Directorial Debut with Truman Capote Adaptation

Variety reports that Scarlett Johansson will soon join the ranks of actresses-turned-directors with Summer Crossing , Truman Capote’s first novella, about a 17-year-old Manhattan socialite who breaks away from her family and has an affair with a working class parking lot attendant in the summer of 1945. The Avengers star had discussed her directorial debut previously this fall, but with backers and The Deer Hunter producer Barry Spikings it seems the project is actually happening. Yes, but will it measure up to Jen Aniston and Demi Moore ‘s cancer dramas ? Gauntlet dropped, ScarJo. [ Variety ]
