Luc Besson, the formerly A-list director who rose to the top of the box office with his kinetic action films, had his career derailed by rape accusations leveled against him in 2018 by Sand Van Roy, an actress on his film “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
The movie, which Besson produced via his banner LBP, has already been pre-sold by French banner Kinology in most major territories, save the U.S. and other English-language territories. EuropaCorp, the company he founded that wasIt’s also one of dozens of projects Besson wrote during the solitary years that followed the rape complaint. On paper, “Dogman” was a gamble. Its only star,, is virtually unknown in France and having over 60 dogs on a movie set didn’t sound feasible.
In the film, Landry Jones stars as Douglas, a man who was abused as a child by his violent father, and who turns to dogs for friendship as he turns into a tormented adult. Ultimately, the love of dogs is what brought Besson and Landry Jones together. The French director also cracks up as he reminisced about having 65 dogs running around all day with trainers and even canine makeup artists.
He also revealed that Portman almost didn’t make it into the film because she was only 11 at the time.
