Leon the Professional. I think part 2 should be made.
Anyone know the original movie and have an opinion.
The original is in my top 5 favourite movies. It was just on tv and I started thinking it would be a pretty easy carryover to the sequel with Matilda(the little girl) being the Professional. |

Luc Besson has already written Mathilda/The Professional II, but it will likely never be made.
Besson left Gaumont, the studio that financed Leon, to start his own company, and Gaumont is being shitty about it, holding the rights to Leon, and therefore the character Mathilda. |

that is my TOP FAVORITE MOVIE.
I can watch it over and over again, and yet i still shed a tear at the end. It's the only movie i have in bluray format I need to watch it after my last final I don't think there should be a part II, something that good should be left alone. Natalie Portman becoming a cleaner? Not after the ending of the first movie, where we are lead to believe she is on the path to a better life. What would be neat is a movie about a young Leon, when he was 18. How it started, an origins movie. Which they only briefly talk about in the movie. |

In 2000 Besson and his business partner, Gaumont Deputy CEO Pierre-Ange Le Pogam, became disillusioned with the studio and broke with them to start their own studio, EuropaCorp. Mathilda was simply collateral damage. |

That's really shitty! I would love to see a sequel. Quote:
I like your idea aboot the young Leon. That would be interesting to see also. The ending of the movie left her future up in the air. She plants the tree and says " I think we'll be okay here Leon". Maybe she leads a double life as a cleaner/student. Or maybe meets his son that no one knew aboot. |

It's simply a one-of-a-kind movie with uniquely intense roles and story. Personally, I would love to see 25 or more versions of the movie--I like it that much--but I can't see it happening. |

Love that movie. I think a sequel with Portman would be great, she could pull off the role correctly.
After what Apex has stated though, its most likely not going to happen. |

Great movie. I was pissed at Oldman for years after he shot Leon in the back.

That is probably the one scene that that made the movie so memorable. But, yeah...I wanted to reach through the screen and wring Oldman's neck. I still can't watch him without thinking of him as Leon's killer.

Here's my question.
At the end when Leon's walking out he gets to street level looks out but decides to go down the stairs and walk through the hallway. Am I missing something here? He had already walked past everyone in the stairway why would he be afraid to go to the street where the ambulance was and leave from there? |

My favorite Oldman performance, next to Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg in The Fifth Element. Coincidence that both are Luc Besson films? I think not.
