Scarlett Johansson’s reason for accepting the role in her recent flick The Spirit was considering she was keen to work with director Frank miller.

The actress plays the role of Silken Floss a scientist in the movie.

She tells, “I’m not really a comic book fan. The world always just felt so excluding to me. What brought me to that project, was Frank. I loved Sin City, and I loved 300. And I just thought, ‘he must be a pretty interesting fellow!’

“So I got the script, but there really wasn’t any part for me. You know, the Silken Floss character was kind of underwritten.

“But I so wanted

to meet Frank. So we met, and we had a really wonderful three hour lunch meeting. And just talked about New York, and laughed, and had a great day. And at the end of it I was like, well I’m sad that there’s nothing for me to do. And he told me, ‘I’ll think of something!’

“So I got super super lucky, considering he decided to expand that character. And that was really it for me. I felt like being part of his vision would just be fun, a fun world to play around in.”

The Spirit plus stars Eva Mendes, Jaime King and Samuel L.Jackson.
