Scarlett Johansson to Star in ‘Bride’ for Apple, A24 - Variety:

Scarlett Johansson will produce and star in the science-fiction drama “Bride" for Apple and A24 from director SebastiÁ¡n Lelio.

“Bride" follows a woman created to be an ideal wife — the singular obsession of a brilliant entrepreneur. When she rejects her creator, she’s forced to flee her confined existence, confronting a world that sees her as a monster. While on the run, she finds her true identity, her surprising power and the strength to remake herself as her own creation.

Johansson and Jonathan Lia will produce “Bride" through their company, These Pictures. Keenan Flynn will co-produce. Lauren Schuker Blum (“Orange Is the New Black"), Rebecca Angelo (“Wolfman") and Lelio are on board to write the script.

So it’s a 21st century reinterpretation of The Bride of Frankenstein, and Scarlett Johansson isn’t playing Asian. Win-win.
