Scarlett Johansson has teamed up with Massive Attack to record a song for a film soundtrack, according to reports. The track, 'Summertime,' will be used for the soundtrack to film 'Days of Grace,' reports WENN (via Digital Spy).

The Mexico-set crime film was premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May and has been described in a Reuters review as a "breathlessly paced adrenaline rush," with the film set over the space of three FIFA World Cups from 2002 to 2010.

As previously reported by Spinner, Johansson was approached this year to record a song for the soundtrack to 'Wretches & Jabberers,' a documentary revolving around two autistic men. The score also featured the likes of Ben Harper, Stephen Stills and Devendra Banhart.

Massive Attack, meanwhile, told Spinner back in October last year that 2011 would see the release of "quite a bit of EPs," with the band growing weary of living in an album/tour cycle. Massive Attack's last full-length, 'Heligoland,' came in 2010 and was largely well-received by critics.
