GeraldRice Wrote:Luc Besson- I would say he's the most qualified and the most difficult to get. I don't think he's directed a movie in some years, but CG and action blends seemlessly together.
At first I thought: "Nah!", but the more I think about this one, the more it squirms in my brain.
Besson has worked quite a bit in recent years, just not in the English language. Unfortunately, his latest English language action flick, Hitman, didn't do so well.
But here's the thing...he knows how to do "outside the law" action flicks (Leon, Transporter, Revolver, etc.). He's also done horror (Haute Tension). And, the final plus in my book, he wrote the Fifth Element (not related in any way, I know, but it's just so darn cool!).
Plus, Milla Jovovich could play Gia! My first 2 choices would still be Charlize Theron or Kate Winslett, however (strangely enough, all 3 actresses are 33 this year...Mr. Reynolds is 32...[as I slap myself for shameless cross-posting]).
