with Luc Besson on Jun 11, 1997
Luc Besson is a French film director, writer and producer. Besson’s films include”Nikita” (1990) starring Anne Parillaud and “Léon” (aka “The Professional,” 1994) starring Jean Reno and introducing Natalie Portman to the screen. These two films strongly influenced spin-off works by many artists in comic books, other films with “cleaner” hit-man characters, and several American television shows, with the most direct spin-off being the long-running (1997-2001) USA network TV series “La Femme Nikita” as well as influences on ABC’s “Alias”. This influence extends to the creation of FOX TV’s “24” by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, who had previously produced “Nikita” for the USA network.
