Luc Besson pushes a rant. Furious that several media outlets have taken a information announcing the end of the writing of the script for Lucy 2, the developer is now going after the journalists.

Luc Besson is angry and the fact know. Very active on the social networks, the developer of Valérian has published, this Thursday, 5 October, a long message like a forum to the destination of the journalists who, according to him, lead ” a wild ride, and silly the scoop “. The cause of his rant : a rumor started by the specialized site Movieweb,indicating that he had completed the writing of Lucy 2, following its success at the box office with Scarlett Johansson. Information which, if one believes the father of five children is completely false.

“What an honor it is for you to inform, to warn, to guide, to decrypt the same… But that was BEFORE, he writes. Before the Internet, and your race and silly at the scoop. Regardless of whether the info is right or wrong as long as we are the first to say anything. To hell with the audits, ethics, or morality. Let’s take an article overseas, and let us translate it, without perspective, without discernment. When have you lost faith ? When have you dropped ? “

Released in 2014, Lucy , had reported $ 460 million of revenue for a budget of 40 million. Yet in 2014, Luc Besson had explained to the microphone of RTL that it was unlikely that he or she makes a sequel. “Everyone wants the result. I think I’m going to be forced. Finally, if I find an idea, because when you see the film, it is difficult to imagine a sequel. This has not been written for it. “

For nearly 30 years, Luc Besson has a conflictual relationship with the media. In question, the frosty reception from the press to the film The Big Blue, during his presentation at the Cannes film Festival in 1988. “I’m 28 years old, I’ve only done three movies. I am a toddler in the cinema. I am learning my trade. It is not necessary that the criticism hit me over like that. It’s not very nice “, had it at the time. Since then, the situation still does not seem to be much better.
