Variety reports that Scarlett Johansson will make her
directorial debut on the film adaptation of author Truman Capote's novel "Summer Crossing".
The story follows a 17-year-old Debutant who decides to pursue romance with a
Jewish valet parking attendant instead of traveling through Paris during a 1945
summer heat wave in New York.
Capote never published the book, opting instead to throw out the manuscript. A janitor in
his building salvaged it and the work resurfaced at auction in 2004.
Tristine Skyler wrote the adapted screenplay.
Oleg Boyko, Sergei Bespalov and Barry Spikings will produce.
Production begins in the
first half of next year.
