Natalia Portman would do a Sequel to THE PROFESSIONAL Under One Condition...
Three years ago Natalia Portman had no interest in doing a sequel to the 1994 classic film The Professional also known as Leon. Now in a recent interview with MTV she revelas that she would actually be very open to reprising her role in a sequel under one condition...
The director of the first film Luc Besson would have to return to direct it, if Besson is in so is she. If he doesn't do it then there's no chance in hell. Now, Besson has actually already written a script for the sequel called Mathilda, but unfortunately the guy has no interst in directing it.
Portman expalins that she's never even looked at the script for that reason, explaining "I have never read it, because Luc won't direct it himself, and so I'm only interested if he [directs]. ... I told him if he would do it himself, I would do it in two seconds. But he won't, so ...
... that sucks! I'd love to see what Besson has planned for the sequel! I guess we'll never know.
