Luc Besson Says His Next Sci-Fi Project Will Require "A Ticket and an Aspirin"

Filmmaker Luc Besson says he is at work on a new science-fiction story, describing the project as "crazy" enough that audiences may need both a ticket and an aspirin to take it in. Besson said his approach to the genre is shifting as he gets older, with the new work reflecting that exploration. He also praised Madonna, calling her a "phenomenon" in the same conversation. Besson is known for genre films including "The Fifth Element" and "Lucy."
