Scarlett JohanssonSCARLETT Johansson is reportedly set to land the lead role in the upcoming remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

According to the New York Daily News, the actress auditioned for the role of Lisbeth Salander, a heavily-tattooed computer hacker with a penchant for body piercings, last week.

Director David Fincher was said to be impressed with Scarlett, who apparently managed to pull off a flawless Swedish accent.

“If he doesn’t go with an unknown, Scarlett is a shoo-in for the role,” a source said.

“And she wants it bad.”

Scarlett — who’s married to actor Ryan Reynolds – recently revealed she likes to shop when she doesn’t have any acting work.

“I don’t have the busiest agenda,” she said. “I’m just an actress for hire. So I have months and months where I just sit around and wait for jobs. There’s always time for shopping”.
