December 08 - On the occasion of the worldwide December 25th launch of the film THE SPIRIT by Frank Miller, the visionary director behind Sin City and 300, yoox.com meets the actress Scarlett Johansson, who selects an exclusive Dream Box dedicated to her character's look.

THE SPIRIT, adapted from the comic book series by the legendary Will Eisner, transports us into an elegant world of adventure, danger, and love. Scarlett Johansson plays the part of Silken Floss, the icy assistant of the evil Octopus. An extremely intelligent, ambitious, rigid woman—who is also sexy and intriguing. The only person Octopus trusts, the master of crime's irreplaceable right hand. Miller rewrote the Silken Floss character as a younger version of Eisner's original: "Eisner's character," says the director, "was a sexually repressed astrophysicist, very stiff and in love with Spirit. I decided to change her and give Silken a turbulent youth."

Johansson was delighted to play this decisive character, which she describes as "very intelligent and easily bored. Silken is ready for adventure, helping this madman to traffic in drugs and wearing the most amazing clothes. Nothing feels real for her, partly because she probably makes regular use of her stash of drugs. It's a strange phase in her life and who knows what will happen to her later."
