We’ve got a new featurette for Luc Besson’s French action film LUCY, which hits UK cinemas this August.
Scarlett Johansson stars as the titular character Lucy, a young American student living in Japan who ends up as a drug mule. Everything changes for her when a bag of the synthetic drug CPH4 bursts in her stomach, resulting in some rather impressive mental and physical powers.
The featurette shows clips of the film along with extracts from an interview with Luc Besson, and the director speaks of the value of seeing LUCY in IMAX theatres, likening the experience to driving a Ferrari. Check it out:
Besson has a penchant for fusing quirky action with strong female leads. NIKITA, LEON and THE FIFTH ELEMENT all feature feisty females. Audiences, however, will have to decide whether they’ll gain more from watching LUCY in IMAX rather than the standard cinematic experience.
LUCY is directed by Luc Besson and stars Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman and Choi Min-sik. It’s released in IMAX and UK cinemas August 22.
Claire Joanne Huxham comes from the south-west, where the cider flows free and the air smells of manure. She teaches A-level English by day and fights crime by night. When not doing either of these things she can usually be found polishing her Star Trek DVD boxsets. And when she can actually be bothered she writes fiction and poetry that pops up on the web and in print. Her favourite film in the whole world, ever, is BLADE RUNNER.
