“#The Fifth Element 2 Was Supposed to Happ<\/a>en, Here’s What Killed It<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nWhen it comes to sci-fi cinema, few movies<\/a> are as bizarrely entertaining as The Fifth Element<\/em><\/strong>, the 1997 English-language French science<\/a>-fiction action film directed and co-written by Luc Besson. The movie starred an eclectic cast that included Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Chris Tucker, and Gary Oldman. In a conversation with the movie’s co-writer, Robert Kamen, it was revealed that the original plan had been to make a sequel to The Fifth Element<\/em>, that fell through because the first film underperformed at the box-office.<\/p>\n

“[The script for The Fifth Element] was actually 180 pages, and then [Luc Besson] added a second part to it, which made no sense either. We were going to do it as a sequel, but it made no sense, and The Fifth Element wasn’t big enough here. It was huge in the rest of the world, and it’s a classic, but it only did $75 million here or $80 million. It was way ahead of its time. So we never did the sequel, and the sequel would have been taking the other 180-page thing [Luc Besson] had and working it into a script.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The story behind the making The Fifth Element<\/em> is as much a clash of cultures as the movie itself, which boasted a strange, captivating European arthouse aesthetic filtered through the prism of raw commercial Hollywood. It tells the story of a taxicab driver, played by Willis, who takes it upon himself to protect the life of a strang, humanoid creature, played by Jovovich, whose existence is directly linked to the survival of the human race against a malevolent cosmic entity.<\/p>\n

According to Kamen, he was working with Warner Brothers as a script doctor when the producer of Gran Torino<\/em>, Bill Gerber, asked him to take a look at a strange new script written by a guy named Luc Besson, who had made La Femme Nikita<\/em>. Kamen had trouble understanding the script, but he considered Besson a cinematic genius based on his previous work, and so agreed to meet the filmmaker. Unfortunately, the meeting was far from a success.
\n<\/p>\n

“I said, “I’ll come in and meet him.” [Billy] said, “Great.” So I come in and meet the guy, and I tell him everything that’s wrong with his script. He doesn’t get all of it because his English wasn’t that great. And he sits there, and I could see that he was getting more and more pissed off. He’s a French auteur, I’m just this fucking Hollywood screenwriter. And at the end of the meeting, Billy called me up, he said, “Dude, you just ruined that relationship.” Because all I had done was I just kept saying what a huge piece of shit this script was.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kamen naturally concluded that was the last he would ever hear about The Fifth Element<\/em>. But to his surprise, Besson called him a week later and asked for his help in writing the script. Soon, Kamen was on a plane to Paris, where a three-day brainstorming session with Besson turned into a three-week tour of the studio in which the work was being done to bring to life the alien world of The Fifth Element<\/em>. Kamen and Besson were finally able to create a script they were satisfied with, and thus began the journey, which lasted for four more years, to create a movie that many consider a highlight of ’90s sci-fi along with The Matrix<\/em>.
