Craigslist ad invites you to hook up with Scarlett Johansson


In Jonathan Glazer's enigmatic Under the Skin, Scarlett Johansson plays an alien who seduces and preys on unsuspecting Scottish men — but if a recent Craigslist ad uncovered by Indiewire is an indication, the character has come across the pond to harvest new victims.
