Would audiences want to see this, too? Is this generally interesting? Those are things I look for and focus on and care about. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;So, we\u2019ll see, I guess. I&#8217;m certainly still an actor for hire \u2014 I want that to be widely printed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nScarlett screened &#8216;Eleanor the Great&#8217; at the Cannes Film Festival and she has admitted she shed many tears when directing on set because of the movie&#8217;s emotional story.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe &#8216;Black Widow&#8217; star hopes the film will have the same effect on audiences as she learned long ago that it is a powerful thing to be able to cry over a movie in public.<\/p>\n<p>\nScarlett said: &#8220;The script made me cry, and so I knew there would be potential for tears, of course. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Then, to cut it together &#8211; I\u2019ve seen it a bajillion times, and it still makes me cry. It touches me in different moments. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I love to cry in movies. When I was younger, I was a teenager, I used to stop myself from crying, and it was so painful. I think the greatest physical pain is holding in a cry. It hurts so much. Then, at some point in my life, I was like, &#8216;What am I doing? I&#8217;m just going to let loose and cry in this theatre.&#8217; It was so liberating. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It feels so good to cry in a theatre with a whole bunch of people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/intention-work-projects-see-scarlett-johansson-clarifies-acting-future-1419594.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>29 May 2025 Scarlett Johansson is &#8220;still an actor for hire&#8221;, despite making her directorial debut on &#8216;Eleanor the Great&#8217;.
