Luc Besson writing new science-fiction film, no release date set

Luc Besson told a Venice Film Festival masterclass on 6 September 2026 that he is writing a new science-fiction story, calling it "crazy" and joking that audiences "will need a ticket and an aspirin at the same time." The project remains in the writing stage with no release date attached. Besson's first feature, *The Last Battle* (1983), was sci-fi. [Variety]
