Movie news: Lucy trailer

Today we got our first glimpse of Lucy, Luc Besson’s latest sci-fi starring Scarlett Johansson.

If I had to think of a super paring Scarlett Johansson and Luc Besson does not immediately spring to mind, but I have to admit the idea of the two working together gets me a little excited.  Luc Besson has moments of brilliance (Leon, The Fifth Element) and moments of…well non brilliance (The Family) but after watching the trailer I am hopeful that this is more of Besson at his best.  Sure, it is high concept and a little hard to believe but when he is on form Besson produces great Sci-fi.  Add in Johansson who is pretty hot property right now and we may have a bit of a gem on our hands.  We will find out in August when Lucy is released in cinemas.
