About a female drug mule who gains superpowers.

Wow, Besson.

 

[Symbiotic]

I'm still waiting for The Fifth Element 2.

 

[dark_b]

she was in two superhero movies and i dont buy her in action scenes. she is sexy with a good body and good face. so what, you can google her pics on the internet. but no avengers made a lot money so it has to be her.

 

[Project862006]

luc besson isn't actually a studio lackey he probably cast her because he thinks she will fit the role

 

[terry78]

He did cast Portman back in the day so he has his own reasonings.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

Usually, films directed by L.Besson are good/average ( Nikita, Leon, 5th element ) , films produced by him ( taxi, transporter ) are average/bad.

 

[Project862006]

never saw his last film starring Michelle Yeoh "The Lady" any good

 

[Mr.M]

I thought this was an I Love Lucy movie when I read the title. Damn...

May as well be a sequel to My Super Ex-Girlfriend.

 

[Gold Samurai]

That stunt double's going to be working extra hard

 

[Rowsdower!]

So, let me see if I understand this... she shoves drugs up one of her orifices and it leaks out and gives her superpowers?

 

[terry78]

^That's worth the 11 bones price of admission alone.

 

[corby]

Plot Twist: She only thinks she has super powers and is actually just really high.

 

[Rowsdower!]

^That's worth the 11 bones price of admission alone.

Agreed.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I like the primise but I think that Scar-jo is such a limited actress and her screen presence isn't good enough to overcome that. She isn't terrible or anything but I still don't see what's so special about her outside of her looks. And I'm not buying the action hero thing. Sorry Marvel.

I wish another actress was chosen but I like Luc Besson so much that I will see the flick.

 

[terry78]

Besson usually chooses his females for certain reasons, so hey.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Eh, at least she isn't in a movie where I have to pretend that she is a great actress just because we lower the bar for people who look like her. Maybe she will be just fine in something like this.

Sarcasm runs in your family, I like you.

[jonathancrane]

I was disappointed this was not connected to I Love Lucy. Love Scarjo, but not the creative team, so I'll be passing on this film.

 

[dark_b]

sounds like a crazy fun movie
