Scarlett Johansson to reanimate 'Bride of Frankenstein'? Don't hold your breath

Is Scarlett Johansson the bride-to-be in a remake of "The Bride of Frankenstein?"

Not so fast.

Reports on the Web are that the "Iron Man 2" actress is being considered to play a hot female monster in an updated version of the original 1935 horror movie.

A source said: "The Bride of Frankenstein will be young this time. They're looking for a person with great power and sex appeal. Someone along the lines of Scarlett Johansson or Anne Hathaway."

But according to Scarlett's publicist, Marcel Pariseau, it's not true. At least, not yet. He told the Dish Rag, "She has not been approached for this project. If anything changes, I'll let you know."

We hope it comes to pass. We could totally see Scarlett doing the wild-haired bride originally played by English actress Elsa Lanchester, right.

She could certainly carry off that enormous up-do with aplomb, as evidenced at left.

In case you've forgotten, Dr. Frankenstein makes a hot mate for his Frankenstein monster, but when she's up and animated, she rejects the ugly fella.

Maybe they should call it: "She's Just Not That Into Frank."
