Back in 1997, Luc Besson wrote and directed one of the best science-fiction movies of our time in THE FIFTH ELEMENT, and now, according to sources, the French director is possibly looking to revisit that universe…
Speaking to The Playlist while out promoting his latest THE FAMILY, Besson was asked whether he would like to go back and revisit one of his past movie efforts for a prequel or sequel. He responded with the following
“The Fifth Element I was a little bit frustrated because I made the film right before all the new effects arrived. So when I did the film it was all blue screen, six hours, dots on the wall, takes forever to do one shot. Now, basically, you put the camera on your shoulder and then you run and then you add a couple of dinosaurs and spaceships. And I was so frustrated because it was not so easy at the time. So I always think to myself that I would avenge one day and use all the new tools to do a sci-fi film for sure.”
THE FIFTH ELEMENT starred a blonded-up Bruce Willis as futuristic taxi driver Corbin Dallas, tasked with saving the universe, along with Milla Jovovich and a pretty decent, although a tad annoying Chris Tucker. What are people’s thoughts on more movies using more advanced technology?
