KEY POINTS:
Scarlett Johansson has cemented her status as Woody Allen's latest leading lady of choice by signing up to appear in a third film by the veteran director.
Johansson, 22, who appeared in Allen's 2005 film Match Point and 2006's Scoop, will star alongside Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz in the as yet untitled movie to be shot in Spain later this year.
It is her third role in Allen's past four movies, making her the director's most frequently used actress since his celebrated earlier films with Mia Farrow and Diane Keaton.
