A Lucy spin-off series is in the works and Morgan Freeman, who starred opposite Scarlett Johansson in the 2014 film, may return.
Morgan Freeman is in advanced negotiations to join the cast of the television series spinoff of Luc Besson's 2014 science fiction film, Lucy. Details of the plot are being kept closely underwraps at the moment, but it is expected to follow on from the story that ended at the conclusion of the $460 million-grossing movie. EuropaCorp and Village Roadshow are partnering to develop and produce the series, according to a report by Variety.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY EuropaCorp has recently begun to pursue films and series that can be developed from its well-known intellectual properties and franchises, like The Transporter and Lucy. The company and Village Roadshow are both owned by the New York hedge fund Vine Alternative Investments. Lucy is the second series to be approved and greenlit by Vine for EuropaCorp after DogMan which stars Caleb Landry Jones, and was produced and written by Besson.
Besson is a prolific French film director, writer and producer whose best-known work includes Léon: The Professional, The Fifth Element, La Femme Nikita and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. He was nominated for a César Award for Léon, which starred Jean Reno and a young Natalie Portman, and centered on a professional hitman who takes in and trains a twelve-year-old girl in how to become an assassin.
