All we we had was a promotional image of Lion-O and the promise of a "21st century reimagining" of the classic '80s cartoon.

Scarlett Johansson To Play A Sexy Alien Scarlett Johansson as the perfect woman? A perfect alien woman? That is what FilmNation is selling at AFM, launching Under the Skin , a sci-fi drama from Sexy Beast writer-director Jonathan Glazer. “Johansson plays an alien on earth, disguised as the perfect aesthetic form of a mesmerizing woman.
