Scarlett Johansson is gearing up to star in the mystery thriller film The Girl in the Lake, an adaptation of Lauren Oliver's latest novel. Alongside Scott Stuber, Johansson will also take on a producing role for the project.

Amazon MGM Studios has secured the rights to the film, which promises to delve into the adult mystery thriller genre. Oliver, a bestselling author known for her young adult novels, will write the script and serve as the executive producer.

Production will be handled by Stuber and Nick Nesbitt, along with Johansson and Jonathan Lia from These Pictures, and Marc Resteghini from Jack Tar Pictures. Oliver is transitioning into adult thrillers after her successful young adult series, which includes Panic, the Delirium trilogy, and Before I Fall, the latter of which was adapted into a film in 2017. Panic was also adapted into a series by Amazon Studios.

Scarlett Johansson, who made her film debut in North in 1994, has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including a British Academy Film Award and a Tony Award, as well as nominations for two Academy Awards and five Golden Globe Awards. She was last seen alongside Channing Tatum in the romantic comedy-drama Fly Me to the Moon.
