As per the words of the acclaimed director, David Fincher stated that the problem with Johansson was that people can’t wait for her to take off her clothes.

“We flew in people from New Zealand and Swaziland and all over the place. Look, we saw some amazing people. Scarlett Johansson was great. It was a great audition, I’m telling you. But the thing with Scarlett is, you can’t wait for her to take her clothes off.”
