Just like all the extremely talented people in Hollywood, Scarlett Johansson is taking on another extreme role: suffice to say, this isn't another acting job.

Even though fans love to see the blonde bombshell go all out on the silver screen, her next project will put her on a different seat. The directorial seat.

"E! News has confirmed that the 'Under the Skin' star is joining other Hollywood greats (like Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie) by directing her first movie!" reports E! Online on the stars that will join Johansson on her directorial debut.

The "Avengers" heroine is set to helm "Summer Crossing," by Truman Capote, notably known for his novella-turned-movie, "Breakfast at Tiffany's."

The 1940's novel tells the story of a 17-year old debutante, going against their normal ritual of summer travel, and opted to stay home in New York. Here she meets a Jewish parking lot attendant, to whom she quickly falls in love with, only to realize that the cultural structure of both their lives will never interweave.

"We don't want to give too much of the story away, but it's pretty tragic." continues E! Online regarding the ending of the Capote novel, which does not have a happy ending unlike the Hepburn-starred "Breakfast at Tiffany's."

"Summer Crossing was written in the 1940s, but abandoned by an unsatisfied Capote and apparently destroyed, according to Variety. It was discovered over 50 years later and finally published in 2005." shares NME about the first novel from Capote.

"Summer Crossing" might be credited as Johansson's directorial debut, but this is not the first time she isn't in front of the camera. She has directed and wrote a short film entitled "These Vagabond Shoes" in 2009, and is about a man who travels across New York City to get a Nathan's Famous hot dog, starring Kevin Bacon. The short is included as a bonus on the DVD of "New York, I Love You."

Tristine Skyler is said to adapt the screenplay while Barry Spikings, Oscar winner for "The Deer Hunter," will be producing the movie.

Hopefully, this directorial debut of ScarJo will push her skills into greater heights.
