10 Great Movie Screen Tests For Famous Actors Who Lost Out

3. Scarlett Johannson - Jumanji

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYjUtmMl3W4 Scarlett Johannson was once a child actor, years before becoming one of the most dreamed about women alive. Though this seems more like an initial audition than a screentest, I find it hard to believe this footage would still be around unless she was being seriously considered. Scarlett seems like a very focused and mature child, who actually appears to be having a conversation. This girl really means business and looks like she is working. She also is very cute. I wonder how much of the film had been explained to Scarlett before being put on camera because Jumanji was a very scary movie for me to understand at that age and being stuck in a horrifying jungle for over 25 years still scares me. Scarlett may just have been too brave to get the role of a terrified child, as she did not get the part. The role of "Judy" instead went to a young actress named Kirsten Dunst.
