Lucy
In this sci-fi drama directed by Luc Besson, Johansson plays Lucy, a woman accidentally caught in a dark deal, who turns tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic. Co-starring Morgan Freeman,Analeigh Tipton, Choi Min-Sik and Amr Waked. Besson:
I’ve always worked with sci-fi since my first film. So it’s never very far. But I like going from Fifth Element to Joan of Arc and going from The Family to Lucy. So I like that. But what attracts me also very much as a director is the cast. To have Scarlett, who I really like — I’ve seen her on Broadway in her play. I’ve been there twice. I love Morgan Freeman. Choi Min-sik is a genius. Amr Waked is a great Egyptian actor. For a director to have this mix of characters coming from everywhere around the world, it’s so exciting, so exciting
