Scarlett Johansson has revealed why she sobbed while reading the script for Eleanor the Great, her first feature film as a director.
The Black Widow actress opened out to Deadline about her experience making the film while promoting her next project.
“When I read it, I cried, and that almost never happens,” she remarked, explaining why she directed the film. You will occasionally read a script that is incredibly poignant. I sobbed when I read Jojo Rabbit. It is extraordinary when a script moves you in that way.
After her companion passed away, June Squibb’s character, 90-year-old Eleanor Morgenstein, relocated to New York City in search of a new beginning, but she had trouble meeting new friends.
