Director Luc Besson’s upcoming action movie Anna, currently being set up by Lionsgate and EuropaCorp, has landed Helen Mirren and Luke Evans to head up the cast.
Before he gets around to a sequel to Valerian, Besson will next tackle the action movie Anna, which is set to star Mirren and Evans (via Variety).
In the title role of Anna, Besson sticks with his habit of promoting young newcomers by casting Russian model Sasha Luss, who had a small role as Princess Lihö-Minaa in Valerian.
News of Anna comes after Besson himself refuted reports that he is cranking up a sequel to his 2014 Scarlett Johansson-starred sci-fi action thriller Lucy.
