SCARLETT JOHANSSON - EYRE WANTS JOHANSSON AND DANES

EYRE WANTS JOHANSSON AND DANES

NOTES OF A SCANDAL director SIR RICHARD EYRE is desperate to cast SCARLETT JOHANSSON and CLAIRE DANES on the London stage. Eyre, who used to manage Britain's National Theatre, has worked with acting veterans including DAME JUDI DENCH, but would like to work with younger stars. He says, "All the work I've been approached about lately seems to feature leading roles for older women. "I'd actually rather like if it somebody suggesting something involving Scarlett Johansson. She's wonderful. Or Claire Danes. She's a tremendous actress and very underrated."
