Scarlett Johansson wants to play a "gladiatrix".

She is signed for the action drama "The Amazon Warrior" set in 200 B.C. "I think I'm supposed to be a gladiatrix. These film guys are crazy about gladiatrixes. But do I fit into the Amazon mold? I'm a Danish/Jewish girl from New York. I've done weapons training. I've fired all kinds of guns: 9 mm, semi-automatics, machine-guns, shotguns. I've jumped off a 60-foot building. I learned to ride for 'The Horse Whisperer.' But I've never done a full-on action role. I guess I'm still waiting for my Cirque du Soleil moment. It would be fun."
