- Trivia Despite widely published reports that Angelina Jolie was originally cast as the lead, but dropped out, Luc Besson has since denied them and admitted that he only met with a couple of actresses to discuss playing the lead role. He says when he saw how strongly Scarlett Johansson reacted to the story, she immediately landed the part.
- Goofs When Lucy locks herself inside an airplane lavatory, the staff pleads with her to open the door. Any airplane lavatory can be opened from the outside in a few seconds without much ado. But Lucy can control her physical surroundings.

Movie Review: Lucy is a film worth watching
The film is worth watching because of scarlett johansson who effortlessly slips into this character. it's a treat to see her in a drugged state and her non-stop high is quite a spectacle rating:.
Listen to Story
Cast: Scarlet Johansson and Morgan Freeman
Director: Luc Besson
The premise of film Lucy is based on the theory that humans use only 10 per cent of their brain's actual capacity. Whether it's true or false, it doesn't make a big difference because for now what matters is that it makes an interesting plot for a film! The thought of what mankind has done by using just 10 per cent of the human brain is interesting, isn't it? And then the thought of what would it be like if humans could use a total of 100 per cent of their brain! When asked this question, Professor Norman (Morgan Freeman) says, "I don't know."
Scarlett Johansson stars as the titular Lucy, an American student living in Taipei. The problem begins when she is forced by her boyfriend to deliver a locked suitcase. She has no idea what's in it and she has to deliver it to a barbaric Korean gangster, Jang. As she enters his room, he is already on a killing spree inside his hotel room. The bag contains four packets of CPH4, a powerful drug that will not just give a high but will boost the brain so that it's used a lot more than just 10 per cent.
The four packets have to be transported so they are placed inside four different stomachs; out of which one is Lucy's. Once she is abducted and manhandled, the packet in her body leaks and she instantly has crazy powers with which she not only beats people to pulp but with 20 per cent of her brain capacity in use, she wants to now seek revenge. With such a heavy dose of CPH4 inside her, she doesn't have much time but she somehow pins down the three men who are sent to three different cities with the packets and gets cops involved to get them arrested. Soon she can change her looks, hear each and everyone in the crowd, drive like a maniac though she has never driven before and she even controls a security dog with her sheer looks. Lucy is a superhuman!
Lucy tracks down Professor Norman, the neuroscientist who has done extensive study on this subject. It took him years to study but Lucy read all of it within seconds.
The film is worth watching because of Scarlett Johansson who effortlessly slips into this character. It's a treat to see her in a drugged state and her non-stop high is quite a spectacle!
Like I had said earlier, whether this fallacy makes sense or not, it doesn't matter. It just makes for an interesting film plot which filmmaker Luc Besson exploits and successfully delivers through this entertaining film. Published By: AtMigration Published On: Aug 1, 2014 --- ENDS ---
