Scarlett Johansson has teamed up with Prada for a cinematic new campaign that has been called 'contemporary surrealism.'
The 40-year-old actress - who is no stranger to the fashion brand's Galleria leather handbag ads - worked with breakthrough director Yorgos Lanthimos for the first time on the new short film Ritual Identities.
Fans thought the weird cloning theme was spooky and a sign that Scarlett should do a horror movie soon.
'This Prada campaign really comes from Yorgos' unique mind and whatever magic is created between the two of us as artists,' she told WWD.
'The performance -- the collaboration -- is opened up. This process of discovery is what makes any creative collaboration special.'
'Filmic shorts like this are a playful collaboration for actors and directors -- it gives us an opportunity to work together in a different manner.'
Meanwhile, Prada suggested the new film shines a light on the Gelleria's various forms and styles over the years, as well as delving into 'the fluidity of the persona'.
The Lost In Translation star added: 'The idea for this Prada campaign is a play on identity, the identities that live within all of us, the different masks we wear, the different characters we play, the different people we are with other people, in different relationships.'
'The work becomes personally meaningful because you start to really feel it as you're saying it; it starts to live more inside you -- and then, you can really explore.'
'This film is less about assuming a character; more about expressing different versions of myself.'
On Instagram the caption read: 'The Prada Galleria, reinterpreted through the film making style of Yorgos Lanthimos, starring Prada Ambassador Scarlett Johansson.'
Over the summer, Scarlett's beauty brand The Outset launched skin survival kits in collaboration with Jurassic World, as she appeared in the film franchise's latest instalment.

She wrote on Instagram in July: 'These were the products I relied on throughout filming to keep my skin hydrated and looking radiant no matter what.'
In a video posted online, she went on to explain: 'What you don't get to see is that we filmed in Thailand, in the jungle for months, in open water and our skin was truly put through it.'
'We filmed in a lot of harsh climates ... My skin survived Jurassic World Rebirth because of The Outset and the consistency of my everyday essentials.'
This comes after Johansson looked back fondly on her time working with Robert Redford in an interview that resurfaced shortly after his death early on Tuesday.
The legendary star was said to have died in his sleep at 89, though a specific cause wasn't cited.
Johansson worked with Redford early on in her career, when she was just 13, on 1998's The Horse Whisperer, which was her seventh feature film.
Redford directed the drama, which went on to be a critical and commercial hit, and he also played the title role.
Johansson played Grace, a teen girl who is severely injured and traumatized in a tractor collision that leaves her friend dead and her horse maimed, while Redford plays a 'horse whisperer' who agrees to help rehabilitate her horse -- but only if Grace also participates.
In an interview from that year with the Today Show from 1988, the rising actress described how Redford 'understood' her effortlessly because of his skills as both an actor and director.
'Working with him was amazing. I think it really helped that he was an actor, as well as a director, because we could communicate so well,' she said. 'And I guess you can't really call it actor talk, that wouldn't be the right word, but it was just a connection between us.'
Johansson went on to explain what made Redford such an expert at eliciting a winning performance form her.
'A lot of the times, you get a director who can't really explain what they want to say to you about what they're feeling about your character,' she shared. 'But we didn't have that problem on that set because we could communicate so well, so we understood each other.'
In an later interview with Deadline from May of this year, Johansson looked back on Redford's skills behind the camera.
'He was so actor-focused,' she said of the Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid star. 'He was so patient and would take the time to familiarize me with where my character was at that moment; what happened; where I was coming from in the story. He would tell me the story; the whole story; all the way up until that point.'
'It was so helpful. It was so insightful too because I was also a young actor. I was working on a big film and a lot was going on and he would take the time,' Johansson continued. 'He created an intimate space in a big overwhelming production.'
