Besson Plans Epic Return To Science Fiction!
The Fifth Element director Luc Besson is planning to start making a new science fiction movie next year, he told Collider.
It’s an epic saga, and it might be a trilogy or just a stand-alone film. He’s also not sure whether he’ll do it with a Hollywood studio, or make it in France. “It’s a big story,” he says, and what shape it takes will depend on the story and the characters.
Besson has been rather silent as a director over the past decade and has only directed three films since “Element” and none of them were science-fiction.
The Fifth Element was an awesomely stylized picture. The plot line wasn’t complex because it wasn’t that sort of movie. I’d even go as far to say that it was… perfect.
A brilliant science fiction pop corn flick. I still remember walking out of the cinema at the sweet age of 11; I couldn’t stop talking about Zorg’s ZF-1 Pod Weapons System! [that cool gun]
All I can say is, he better hire French fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier!
Bring On The SCI-FI!
