We’ve all had to do a questionable thing or two in our life to make some extra cash, such as when Kervyn and I agreed to appear on Whose Line Is It Anyway: Hoe-Down Edition. And that’s the predicament that Scarlett Johansson finds herself in, in Lucy. Smuggling drugs, captured and banged up, instead of ODING on adrenaline, Johansson finds herself charged up with Energizer Bunny levels of power and skill. And so far, Lucy is looking like a solid film. Here’s some behind the scenes images for the flick, that show off ass-kicking and crew.
From La Femme Nikita and The Professional to The Fifth Element, writer/director Luc Besson has created some of the toughest, most memorable female action heroes in cinematic history. Now, Besson directs Scarlett Johansson in Lucy, an action-thriller that tracks a woman accidentally caught in a dark deal who turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.
Lucy also includes Morgan Freeman, Morgan Freeman’s rich wonderful voice, Amr Waked, and Min-sik Choi. It’s out on July 25.
