The actress was 13 when director Redford cast her to star in the 1998 film, and although he acknowledges her acting talent he found it difficult working with her.
In upcoming book Robert Redford: The Biography, a crew member from the movie claims the Lost In Translation star would constantly interpret her scenes against Redford's own vision.
The book also alleges Johansson's mum influenced the young actress, causing her to constantly talk back to the director - leading to "friction" between the pair on set.
