Luc Besson Announces His Last Film As a Director
by Andre Soares
"I want to take a little care of my fellow citizens. I want to take a little care of my planet. I want to act in favor of the inner cities, in favor of the environment. I want to do lots of things." That’s Luc Besson, 47, explaining today that his tenth film as a director, Arthur et les Minimoys, will be his last. (Apparently, Besson will keep on working as a producer and/or screenwriter. The IMDb lists several Besson productions in different stages of development.)
In its English-language version, the animated fairy-tale Arthur et les Minimoys stars (the voices of) Freddie Highmore, Mia Farrow, David Bowie, and Madonna. The film opens in France on Dec. 13.
