Well not quite a sequel per se, maybe a more ambiguous Prometheus<\/em><\/a>-like effort, as director Luc Besson<\/a> revealed to The Playlist<\/em> <\/a>that he’d love to return to the world of his 1997 overblown space opera, The Fifth Element<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I was a little bit frustrated because I made the film right before all the new effects arrived,” recalled Besson. “So when I did the film it was all blue screen, six hours, dots on the wall, takes forever to do one shot.<\/p>\n

“Now, basically, you put the camera on your shoulder and then you run and then you add a couple of dinosaurs and spaceships. And I was so frustrated because it was not so easy at the time. So I always think to myself that I would avenge one day and use all the new tools to do a sci-fi film for sure…<\/p>\n

“I don’t know if it would be directly connected [to The Fifth Element<\/em>] but it would be the same area and the same genre. So for me it would be connected even if the stories had nothing to do with each other.”<\/p>\n

Wrap your paws around The Fifth Element<\/em> on DVD for £5.87<\/a> or Blu-ray for £7.85<\/a> from Amazon<\/a>.co.uk.<\/strong><\/p>\n
