Could Luc Besson's
Lucy be the surprise hit of the summer? Although, science has debunked that trope that humans only use 10% of their brain, I'm willing to ignore facts for an entertaining time at the cinema. And based on the trailers and tv spots released thus far, Scarlett Johansson is going to absolutley tear it up when Lucy hits US theaters on August 8th, 2014. The film also stars Morgan Freeman (
The Dark Knight Rises,
The Lego Movie) and Analeigh Tipton (
Warm Bodies,
Hung). Side note, does this film remind anyone else of an earlier, also original, superhero movie that starred Johansson's Avenger co-star Chris Evans,
2009's Push?
OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS: 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 stars Academy Award® winner Morgan Freeman and is produced by Virginie Besson-Silla for EuropaCorp. Universal Pictures will distribute the movie worldwide, except for France, Benelux and China.
