Trivia / Lucy

• Bad Export for You: There are scenes that were filmed in IMAX, and yet the United States didn't get the IMAX version.
• Dawson Casting: Downplayed. Scarlett Johansson is four years older than her character, whose birth date is listed as 1988.
• Development Hell: The script took nine years to make. Luc Besson says this is the reason for the 90% of Your Brain trope - which he found out was nonsense but kept it for Rule of Cool.
• Word of God: A rumour circulated that Angelina Jolie was the original choice for Lucy. Luc Besson has denied these claims, saying he only met with a couple of actresses for the part. Scarlett Johansson was also cast almost immediately after meeting him.
• What Could Have Been: Milla Jovovich, Luc Besson's ex-wife and frequent Muse back in the 90s was considered for Lucy. However she was pregnant at the time, so she was not asked.
