As the indie classic turns 15 years old, Coppola looks back at filming in Tokyo and casting Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson.
In 2011, the acting legend played a woman who presented herself as a man in the film “Albert Nobbs.”
The actress also discussed finding support in her co-star and onscreen best friend, Awkwafina.
The project is floundering since Johansson stepped down, but the casting controversy has already garnered more publicity than any A-lister could.
Her casting in — and initial statement about — the project cited fierce backlash.
Johansson was going to play Dante “Tex” Gill in director Rupert Sanders’ crime drama.
She previously helmed “Berlin Syndrome,” “Lore,” and “Somersault.”
The actress’ cold response to critics of her latest role, that of a transgender man, revealed an indifference bordering on disdain that permeates Hollywood.
Johansson has been cast as a transgender man in Rupert Sanders’ crime drama “Rub & Tug.”
Johansson is starring as prostitution ring leader Dante “Tex” Gill in the new film from her “Ghost in the Shell” director Rupert Sanders.
Marvel is reportedly adamant about finding a female filmmaker to bring Scarlett Johansson’s kickass agent to the big screen in her own film.
Jac Schaeffer was hired by Marvel to pen the script for the film earlier this year.
