Scarlett Johansson Trapped Real People on Camera! #shorts

Did you know that many scenes in “Under the Skin” were filmed with hidden cameras?

In Jonathan Glazer’s 2013 sci-fi masterpiece, Scarlett Johansson plays an extraterrestrial entity driving through the streets of Glasgow. To capture the most authentic human reactions possible, the production team decided on a daring “guerrilla-style” filmmaking approach.

The Secret Behind the Van Scenes:
Most of the men Scarlett Johansson approaches and invites into her van were not actors. They were ordinary pedestrians who had no idea they were talking to a Hollywood superstar or being filmed for a major motion picture. Johansson wore subtle disguises and used hidden cameras tucked away inside the vehicle to maintain the illusion.

Real People, Real Reactions:
The crew followed the subjects afterward to explain the situation and obtain legal consent to use the footage. This unique method gives the film its haunting, documentary-like atmosphere, blurring the line between fiction and reality.
