The 28-year-old will make movie adaptation of author Truman Capote's novel "Summer Crossing", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Several years ago I began working alongside the Capote estate and writer Tristine Skylar to adapt 'Summer Crossing', an inspired early work of Truman's which has long captured my heart," Johansson said.

"Being able to bring this story to the screen as my full-length directorial debut is a life dream and deep privilege," she added.
