Regisseur Luc Besson stopt na Arthur And The Minimoys met regisseren. De 47-jarige Fransman, verantwoordelijk voor onder andere Léon en The Fifth Element, wil zich na tien films onder andere gaan richten op de maatschappelijke problemen in zijn land.

"They are my 10 little babies. I love them all. I am pleased to have completed this cycle. That is finished. I want to take a little care of my fellow citizens. I want to take a little care of my planet. I want to act in favor of the inner cities, in favor of the environment. I want to do lots of things. I am trying to start a foundation. I want to help youths in the inner cities. I am very sensitive about all these youths. I find that they have incredible energy."

Arthur And The Minimoys, gebaseerd op Bessons eigen kinderboeken, draait vanaf 20 december in Nederland.
