Scarlett Johansson Continues To Invade Early 2014 With This Trailer For LUCY at Why So Blu?

Scarlett Johansson Continues To Invade Early 2014 With This Trailer For LUCY

April 4th, 2014 by Aaron Neuwirth

With Captain America: The Winter Soldier opening in wide release and Under the Skin opening in limited release this weekend, it seemed only fitting to continue providing coverage surrounding all things related to Scarlett Johansson; and while Why So Blu’s Brandon Peters continues his very detailed log regarding her pregnancy, I am simply posting the trailer for her film Lucy, arriving in theaters on August 8th. From the look of it, Lucy appears to be a female-led futuristic take on the film Limitless. In addition, Luc Besson is the man behind the camera, which certainly raises my interests, even after recently suffering through The Family. Regardless, check out the trailer in this post and decide for yourself if the film looks like a good time.

Set in a futuristic world that is run by the mob, street gangs, drug addicts and corrupted cops, Lucy (Scarlett Johansson), a woman living in Taipei, Taiwan, 2069 AD, works as a drug mule for the mob. The drug she inadvertently takes goes into her system, changing her into a metahuman. She can absorb knowledge instantaneously, is able to move objects with her mind and can’t feel pain and other discomforts.
