Scarlett Johansson is being linked with a lot of roles lately, but has now gone and actually signed up for one.

The actress, also known as Ryan Reynolds' other half, will star for British director Jonathan Glazer in The Skin. In a concept that seems to fully utilize her pouty good looks, Johansson will play an alien wandering around Scotland, who likes to eat people after enticing them with her vagina, eh, I mean sexuality. Empire are regarding her attachment as tenuous, though, so getting excited about seeing Scarlett humping someone in a North Face jacket on the side of a mountain might be premature.

Glazer previously directed the great Sexy Beast, and the weird and slightly indulgent Birth. He has also helmed some cracking music videos for the likes of Thom Yorke and Massive Attack.
