Scarlett Johansson Wants to 'Champion' Small Movies

posted on Jun 29, 2010

Scarlett Johansson has a desire to to work in small movies but finds it difficult to do so.

She said, "I think it's just incredibly difficult. There are very, very few people - actors, anyway - out there that can champion small movies and interesting ideas. You know, because the studio looks at that and the script and says, 'How are we going to market this?'

The "View From The Bridge" star continued, "Before they even green light it they are so curious as to how they are going to market it, how they are going to sell it as a product. It's very unfortunate that it is that way, that there is a lack of room to make these mid-level movies."

Scarlett also found the problem is due to the demands of the audience. "There's really not that many people championing that. I think it has to do with our sort of pop-culture, what the audience demands," she said.
