Also known as MS One: Maximum Security and Lock-Out, this Luc Besson-produced and -co-written sci-fi action film looks pretty damn impressive. We’ve seen two trailers for the film already last year, and they look very promising. Fans of Besson’s increasingly diverse work shouldn’t be disappointed. We’ve now got an awesome new trailer to share with [...]
There are none so inspiring in recent political history than Burmese pro-democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi who remained under house arrest in Burma for almost 15 out of 21 years from 20 July 1989 until her most recent release on 13 November 2010. The Lady is Luc Besson’s heartbreaking but compelling love story about [...]
Lock-Out is the first of the two films co-written and produced by Luc Besson that we can look forward to next year – the other being the sequel to the immense Taken – which will mark the feature directorial debut of its other two co-writers, James Mather and Stephen St. Leger. The film is led [...]
Angelina Jolie (Wanted) is in talks to take the lead role in an as-yet-untitled action-thriller from French filmmaker Luc Besson (Leon), Deadline are reporting. Few details are currently know, other than the fact Besson will write and direct what is being described as an action epic “rooted in true scientific elements”. Several studios are already [...]
I have to admit that this one came out of nowhere for me, and having watched the very enjoyable trailer the premise of Lock-Out still seems a little out there. Luc Besson is in place as the film’s Executive Producer and we have James Mather and Stephen St. Leger sharing the writing and directing duties. [...]
Last month the third annual Doha Tribeca Film Festival took over the Katara Cultural Village in Qatar, showcasing the best in Arab and international cinema. The festival opened with the world premiere of Jean-Jacques Annaud’s epic Black Gold, an adaptation of Hans Ruesch’s classic novel ‘The Great Thirst’ and its stars were out in force [...]
I have a good feeling that Luc Besson’s The Lady is going to be one of my favourite films of the year by a long way. We got the first teaser trailer for it back in the summer, followed by the first full trailer last month, and both looked absolutely incredible. It was selected as [...]
HeyUGuys is very proud to be partnering with Cinémoi for our coverage of the Doha Tribeca Film Festival. Luc Besson’s The Lady closed the festival and Julien Planté brings us his review. “Freedom from fear”. Everything is there. This is the title of Aung San Suu Kyi’s speech in 1990 and the story of Luc [...]
We have already seen one trailer for Luc Besson’s The Lady which tells the true story of the life and struggle of Burmese politician Aung San Suu Kyi and now we have a full trailer for the highly anticipated film. It has always been when Besson explores new avenues in filmmaking beyond the lithe female assassin [...]

News came earlier this year that Olivier Megaton had been announced as the director to the sequel of Luc Besson-written and -produced 2008 success, Taken. ComingSoon.net now have it that production on the film will be starting slightly earlier than planned, with filming scheduled to begin this October. Fans of the original film might question [...]
Michelle Yeoh and David Thewlis lead one of this year’s most intriguing prospects, Luc Besson’s The Lady, which tells the story of the Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, and there’s a new trailer out today in anticipation of the film’s premiere at Toronto on the 12th of September. It’s a simple trailer with some [...]
Zoe Saldana is Luc Besson’s latest leading lady and this tale of revenge and gunplay comes to us on the 9th of September from the hands of Olivier Megaton. We’ve seen the film and reviewed it here and it’s unlikely you’ll see this poster in the wild so it’s interesting to bring this to you [...]
Luc Besson, French auteur turned Hollywood-friendly, action-themed hit factory (his EuropaCorp studio has churned out The Transporter and ‘District 13’ series, as well as the Liam Neeson surprise hit, Taken) returns with his newest writing and producing venture, Colombiana. Beginning in the Colombian capital in 1992, a young woman named Cataleya witnesses the death of [...]
To coincide with last Monday’s release of The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec, Optimum Home Entertainment have given us this great featurette showing the making of the movie. It’s titled The World of Adèle and talks us through how director Luc Besson adapted the comic into a live action movie. The year is 1912. Adèle [...]
There are no two ways about it, Luc Besson has written and/or directed some of the best films ever to make it to screen, including Léon, The Fifth Element, and Taken. He has made his first entirely live-action English language film in twelve years with The Lady, and CNN now has the first footage from [...]

To mark the release we have 3 Blu-Rays to give away. The year is 1912. Adèle Blanc-Sec (LOUISE BOURGOIN [...]
I think what tonight could use is a little bit of Zoe Saldana and a couple of sharks, don’t you? This new clip from Olivier Megaton’s Colombiana is a far more subtle affair than the guns-a-blazing whip crack action the previously seen trailer gave up and Megaton certainly knows how to set up his action [...]
The recently released trailer for Colombiana put many in mind of a sequel of sorts to Producer Luc Besson’s 1994 Leon with its familiar theme of parental murder and subsequent revenge thrills and director Olivier Megaton’s eye clearly has learned a lot from Besson. There’s a new poster is the offing tonight and it’s a [...]
If there is anybody who knows how to take a good concept, franchise it, and drive it into the ground, it’s Luc Besson. We’ve seen him do it with his Arthur, Taxi, Transporter and District 13 series, and now he’s looking to do it once more with Taken 2. The film’s plot is still in [...]
