Luc Besson's LUCY 2

[Underworld54]

EuropaCorp CEO Marc Shmuger told Variety at a recent shareholder meeting in Paris that they are readjusting their lineup following the commercial failure of Besson’s Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets this past summer. Part of that adjustment includes pushing forward with Lucy 2, which Shmuger says Besson has already written a script for. It’s unclear, however, if they plan on getting Johansson back for the sequel.

Besson co-founded EuropaCorp at the turn of the century, which employs a unique financing model that allows them to take high risks with properties, such as Valerian, and still possibly come out in the green, despite the movies potentially flopping at the worldwide box office. However, following Valerian‘s release, EuropaCorp plans on scaling back their push into more general productions and put their focus back into action thrillers and sci-fi films. Furthermore, going forward, they will release two or three English-language films per year alongside two French movies with lower budgets than usual.

Hmm, interesting. I really enjoyed the first one. I just think it's fun. And, of course, Scarlett. I'm not sure how excited I'd be about a sequel without her. But you never know, and Besson is a blast.

Since they're looking into lower budgeted films I doubt she'll be back. But here's hoping.

There's quite literally no where else for this to go, she became USB stick encompassing the entire history of the universe and everything within it.

Now their just pushing it. Talk about a unneeded sequel.

If they can revive a dusty Jumanji board game and convert it into digital, surely we can figure out what to transform a USB stick into.

Maybe this time they can transform it into a good movie.

Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines. But maybe she'll just have some really small role and do it for Luc?

Sure, I like her a lot. I don't deny that.

But I actually think it's fun! Plus, it has Morgan Freeman. And he makes everything better.

Meh Ill pass, wasn't really a fan of the first.

I'll pass. The first one sucked enough which was a shame because it did have some good action sequences and it was nice to see Besson back in the directors' chair again.
