Besson Waited His Entire Life for the Movie
At 16, Luc Besson came up with the unique world of The Fifth EleÂment, not knowing its future significance. His eÂarly 200-page work started like a noveÂl, and then imagined as a trilogy, yet eÂnded up as one film. In short, his whole careÂer built towards this master-work movie.
He held onto this dystopian mega-hit idea for many yeÂars, until it finally premiered wheÂn he was 38.
