Luc Besson’s LUCY International Trailer

A new international trailer for Luc Besson‘s upcoming action flick Lucy has been released.  The film stars Scarlett Johansson as an unwilling drug mule that gains the ability to utilize 100% of her brain after ingesting some of the drugs.  Although we’ve certainly seen this premise before, this still looks like it could be a fun actioner with some sci-fi elements.

Lucy also stars Morgan Freeman and Analeigh Tipton, and opens in theaters August 8th.

Here’s the trailer:

From La Femme Nikita and The Professional to The Fifth Element, writer/director Luc Besson has created some of the toughest, most memorable female action heroes in cinematic history. Now, Besson directs Scarlett Johansson in Lucy, an action-thriller that tracks a woman accidentally caught in a dark deal who turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.
