Another actor is trading being in front of the camera for behind, and this time, it's Scarlett Johansson.

Spotted on the set of her upcoming directorial debut, the two-time Oscar nominee is directing Eleanor the Great, written by Tory Kamen.

The film follows Eleanor, who, after spending seventy years with her best friend, moves to New York City for a fresh start. Finding it difficult to make friends at ninety - and longing for connection - Eleanor befriends a 19-year-old.

June Squibb leads as Eleanor alongside fellow castmates Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jessica Hecht and Erin Kellyman.

Johansson was seen on set alongside Erin Kellyman in the first images, which surfaced on social media this week.

Executive producers on the film include star of Jane the Virgin, Justin Baldoni, as well as Andrew Calof, Ezra Gabay, Jenny Halper, James Heath, Jamey Heath, Raj Kishore Khaware and Steve Sarowitz.

There is currently no release date for Eleanor the Great
