VIDEO: Scarlett Johansson Talks Quirky 'Her' Co-Star on LETTERMAN

Scarlett Johansson stopped by last night's Late Show with David Letterman and talked about her 'quirky' co-star Joaquin Phoenix in the new film 'Her.' Check out the appearance below!

Written and directed by Jonze, HER is set in Los Angeles, in the near future and follows Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix), a complex, soulful man who makes his living writing touching, personal letters for other people. Heartbroken after the end of a long relationship, he becomes intrigued with a new, advanced operating system, which promises to be an intuitive and unique entity in its own right.

Upon initiating it, he is delighted to meet "Samantha," a bright, female voice (Scarlett Johansson), who is insightful, sensitive and surprisingly funny. As her needs and desires grow in tandem with his own, their friendship deepens into an eventual love for each other. HER is an original love story that explores the evolving nature-and the risks-of intimacy in the modern world.
