Johansson wants to be scared

Hollywood starlet Scarlett Johansson wants her next movie to be a Stanley Kubrick-style horror.

In a short, but prolific acting career, the 21-year-old has tackled comedy and drama, most famously appearing in Lost In Translation and new movie The Blcack Dahlia - but she has yet to try her hand at horror.

She says: "I was watching The Shining the other day and it would be really great to do a film like that. Not that anyone compares to Kubrick in the league of eeriness. But it would be nice to do a dark psychological drama."
