ScarJo’s Superhuman Drug Mule Powers Are Limitless In Luc Besson’s ‘Lucy’ Trailer

You know how they say we can only access 20% of our brain? Well, that’s exactly what Johnny Whitworth said in Limitless and it’s kind of what Morgan Freeman says (“It’s estimated that human beings only use 10% of our brains’ capacity”) in the first trailer for Luc Besson’s (The Fifth Element) action-thriller Lucy.

Scarlett Johansson stars as the eponymous lead, an unwitting drug mule in Taipei granted superhuman abilities when she begins to reluctantly ingest the cargo under her skin. The rest looks like a great time: clairvoyance, telekinesis, “feeling every living thing”, metamorphosis, deadpan wit. The world becomes, essentially, an infinite Apple device.
Should you need any more convincing, the always charming ANTM Cycle 11 alumni Analeigh Tipton (Crazy Stupid Love, Damsels In Distress) also stars.

Lucy opens August 8th.
