Scarlett Johansson is to make her directorial debut when she teams up with Woody Allen to take charge of new movie New York, I Love You.

The actress will take on her first behind-the-scenes role for the film which is a collection of 12 short films - each with a different director. Johansson has become Allen's muse in recent years after starring in several of his films including Match Point and Scoop, and will now follow the legendary movie maker's lead behind the camera.

Scrubs star Zach Braff has also reportedly signed up to direct a section of the movie which is due for release later this year.
