I said what I said.This is a story that could be taken in many directions, whether it's a movie or a series. Jean Reno could be in it periodically as the Léon that lives on in her memories and guides her actions (with a little CGI work to make him look like he did in the original movie), so she is both efficiently lethal and untraceable through awareness and habits. They could cut in scenes from the original movie as memories.As a series, it could have her pursuing different contracted targets (with her taking particular interest in dirty cops in her off time) while trying to maintain a work / life balance with an intimate partner that has bought into a campaign of disinformation on how she makes a living, with precipitous use of Occam’s Broom when they see evidence of her true nature (subtle nod to Dexter). Mix that with a hacker that works with her anonymously as technical support, gaining access to places she otherwise would not be able to and getting into security systems to act as her eyes and ears (maybe the anonymized voice in her ear is someone she knows, could be a nod to "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"). Then throw in an Interpol agent that has been tracking her activities for years and wants to use a fake contract as a sting to catch her, but struggles to get the approval from their superiors due to budget constraints and ethics concerns.There are all kinds of things that could be added into its milieu, like her resource contacts and contracts all go through a dark / deep web onion server and deal in Ethereum as anonymous (under a codename) NFT contracts (an updated nod to "The Jackal"). Alternatively, it might be interesting to set it in the John Wick Universe with her operating within and around places like The Continental, having worked her way into that network, with Keanu Reeves making a cameo when she passes the man himself in a hallway with an exchange of nods.It's all details to be worked out by people less smooth-brained than me that are actually in the industry.Fans of the original movie, “Léon: The Professional”, what are your thoughts?ETA1: Okay! I get it people. "Luc Besson. EW!". So, we get a different director to do it. Maybe NP herself. MOVE ON.ETA2: The more you all get stuck on Luc Besson the more I am going to ignore you. One of the BEST comments was u/WiserStudent557 saying NP should work on it with Sophia Coppola (seriously, if I had gold to give...). This is a great idea, and by taking creative control over it, NP can maybe possibly get some catharsis about a crappy time when she was young. Food for thought. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/BXySkW1
