Part 1 of The fall and rise of Scarlett Johansson.
Your recent successes on the big screen had gotten you a lot of buy-in with the big studios. So when they approached you to do the new superhero film they gave you carte blanche and just told you to do whatever you wanted.
You thought long and hard, what did you want? Well, the obvious answer was a giant woman. Specifically a giant Scarlett Johansson. That wasn't beyond the realms of possibility you realised. The studio was throwing enough money at you to afford the size-change permits and Scarlett had been involved in the films before. They'd killed her character off but these were superhero films, you were sure the writers could work something out.
Within weeks everything was ready. Scarlett was onboard, you had down town emptied for the shoot and you had the enlargement apparatus ready to go. You'd asked the costume department to work with set dressing to make some clothing that would allow the film to keep a teen rating but would still show off her immense assets. When she emerged from behind the building wearing it your heart nearly stopped at the sight. You knew she'd look good as a giantess but she exceeded all expectations.
Scarlett walked to her mark and looked to you for direction.
"Ok, I'm big. Now what?" her voiced echoed through the vacated city.
You hadn't thought this far ahead, you thought someone would have stopped you bringing your fantasies to life by now - you hadn't even got a complete script ready.
You raised the megaphone to your mouth, "Ok Scarlett - just jump around for a bit. You know, pull some poses, do some fight moves - have some fun with it."
She stared at you expecting more.
All you could think to add was, "Don't worry - we'll add the bad guys in later."
She nodded in understanding. After years of fighting CGI monsters in front of a green screen she knew the drill. You and the rest of the crew watched in awe as she moved about the city, her gigantic breasts bouncing with every movement.
This film was going to break the box-office.
Meta: I found this picture of Scarlett Johansson on a site offering free transparent cut outs. It saved some time but wasn't perfect, I had to blur some of her hair. I've always wanted to do reflections so thought I'd try it with this cut out as it was pretty plain otherwise. The curved nature of the building was a challenge, I used the existing reflection of the building she's behind as a guide to deform her reflection so it should be right, but it does look a bit off.
