Luc Besson had the script for a Leon: The Professional sequel, but the story ultimately found new life as a different project. Here's what happened.

French filmmaker Luc Besson is a bit of an underappreciated titan of the film industry, and even if you're not aware of it you've almost certainly seen a movie or two that was directed or at least penned by the cinematic powerhouse. Besson is particularly skilled when it comes to creating unique science fiction and action films, so it comes as no real surprise that most of the films that he has written/directed feature some seriously memorable badass characters.
