FILM INFO:
Lucy is a 2014 English-language French science fiction action film written and directed by
Luc Besson and produced by his wife Virginie Besson-Silla for his
company Europacorp. The film was shot in Taipei, Paris and New York City. It
stars Scarlett Johansson,Morgan Freeman, Choi Min-sik and Amr Waked. Johansson
portrays the title character, a woman who gains psychokinetic abilities when
a nootropic drug is absorbed into her bloodstream.
The film was released on July 25, 2014, and became a box office success, grossing over
$463 million, 11 times the budget of $40 million. It received generally positive, but also
polarized, critical reviews; although praise was given for Johansson's performance,
entertaining or intriguing themes and visuals, a number of critics found the plot nonsensical,
especially its focus on the ten percent of the brain myth and resulting abilities.
CHARACTERS:
Scarlett Johansson as Lucy, an unwilling drug mule who is accidentally dosed with a drug that
activates a myriad of pre-encoded genetic conscious capabilities:
The role of Lucy called for "an actress who could be believable as extremely vulnerable, as
well as superpowered, when her exposure to an illicit substance inadvertently makes her
acquire incredible skills." Impressed by Johansson's discipline, Besson reached out to her for
the role, stating that she was immediately precise and professional, and he "enjoyed the way
she talked about [the film]." He said, "She was excited for the right reason, which was the
story. At that moment, it was a done deal for me. She was definitely the one."[9] Angelina
Jolie is widely reported to have been originally cast as Lucy,[10][11][12] and as having dropped out
of the role prior to filming.[13] Although Jolie was in "serious talks" with Besson since 2011 to
star in his next directorial effort, then-untitled,[14][15] he stated that she was not his first choice for
the role of Lucy.[10]
Lucy is exciting and unpredictable, especially when Lucy starts to develop super powers
after accidentally ingesting her cargo.
Lucy experienced time travel. This is my favourite scene because this part of the movie featured the
nature and the history of the earth.
