I’m not sure how I missed the existence of this movie before now, but now that I know, I’m shouting it from the rooftops.
I love Luc Besson. I really dig Scarlett Johansson, I adore Morgan Freeman, I love sci fi and I frickin’ adore badass women who kick ass — so this has me written alllllll over it.
Head after the break for the trailer and more info ;-)
