## Transcript

Scarlett Johansson takes method acting to an entirely different and kinda dangerous level in her latest film, Under The Skin. I know. So, you did that! You literally drove around and you, you talked people into a van and they didn't know? Yeah. Yeah. That they were in a movie. I, they, the people are very trust, trusting. Under The Skin is an indie flick based on the 2000 sci- fi novel of the same name. Johannsen plays a seductive alien who lures men to their death. So instead of actors playing drifters, hitchhikers and the like, director Jonathan Glazer opted for real ones and filmed ScarJo picking them up.

It seems the starlet actually didn't have much trouble blending into the working class area of Glasgow Scotland where the movie filmed. Surprisingly hitchhikers didn't recognize her. She told the Guardian, we toyed with lots of different things like prosthetics, teeth, all kinds of things that would change my face but only slightly, when in fact there was no need to do any of that. The Daily Mail caught up with the father of two who thought it was just his lucky day when a beautiful woman pulled up beside him and offered a ride home. I thought, yes. This is unbelievable. I'd been having quite a tough time in my personal; life so, this was like a lucky break.

I should have known it was too good to be true. A pretty substantial change of pace for Esquire's two time sexiest woman alive winner. As for the movie, it's pulling in rave reviews, with a meta score of 82 on Meta Critic, and an 87 % approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Under the Skin is set for release April fourth. Thanks for watching. I'm Jamal Andrews.
