Scarlett Johansson has reportedly put an upcoming movie project, which was going to be her directorial debut, on hold.

The 'Her' star had earlier signed up to step behind the camera to direct an adaptation of Truman Capote's novella 'Summer Crossing', Contactmusic reported.

The project, which was due to begin in August, has now been postponed indefinitely. It was earlier reported that Johansson is pregnant with her fiance Romain Dauriac.
