Scarlett Johansson, who is pregnant, was spotted in Paris with her fiance Romain Dauriac in Paris, France over the weekend according to JustJared. It was recently revealed that the pregnant "Her" actress is in talks to join a live action ‘The Jungle Book' movie, along with Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o. The two actresses are in the midst of boarding "The Jungle Book" movie which will be directed by Jon Favreau according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Johanssoon and Nyong'o are in negotiations, while Idris Elba has already in what is being envisioned as a live-action/CG hybrid film. The part of Mowgli has not been yet been cast. Johansson is in earlier stages of talks to voice the character of Kaa, the python who eats other animals by hypnotizing them. Kaa is "The Jungle Book" movie's second villain after Shere Khan, the man-eating tiger which will be voiced by Elba.

Nyong'o is in final negotiations to play Rakcha, a mother wolf who adopts Mowgli. Justin Marks wrote the script for the movie, which will have a release date of October 9, 2015. Favreau is directing and producing along with Brigham Taylor.

Johansson is currently shooting "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and her Luc Besson action movie "Lucy" will hit theaters on August 8.

Johansson recently spoke to USA Today about her fame. "When I was first becoming more publicly recognizable, I was probably about 18 or 19 and that was 10 years ago - I look at kids that are 18 or 19 now and coming into the spotlight, that would be excruciating. I feel very fortunate that I was able to have a bit of a smoother transition into my young adulthood without having people videotaping me," said Johansson.

"It seems much more complicated now. If you're constantly feeling like you're being hunted, that's going to drive you nuts. You have to be wise about the choices you make."
