Demands Cost Scarlett Johansson Cannes Praise

Scarlett Johansson’s excessive demands have meant she’s missed out on outstanding praise for her new film at the Cannes Film Festival.

New Woody Allen film 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' received a ten minute standing ovation after it’s screening last night, but Scarlett had not flown in from the US to attend after the movie’s producers balked at her excessive demands.

Scarlett reportedly had problems with the choice of hotel, and also wanted her own 5,000 euros a day make-up artist rather than share with fellow stars Penelope Cruz and Rebecca Hall.

A source tells the Mail On Sunday, “Nobody cared she wasn't there. The movie belonged to Penelope and Rebecca anyway with great help from Javier (Bardem).”

A executive connected to the film also told the paper, “I think, while Woody's terribly fond of Scarlett, he was a little upset that she wasn't being a team player,” but added, “That said, she has agreed to support the movie back in America and we're all delighted about that.”
