Lionsgate and EuropaCorp have closed a deal for Luc Besson’s next action film, Anna. Variety reports that the movie begins production this November and will be released under Lionsgate’s Summit Entertainment label.

Helen Mirren and Luke Evans star, they are joined by Cillian Murphy, and newcomer Sasha Luss, as Anna. There aren't really any details on the story, but if you're familiar with Besson's work, you'll know what to expect.

Anna will be the first film to be produced under EuropaCorp since Valerian. Last month EuropaCorp’s CEO Marc Shmuger laid out the company's new focus on making action thrillers and science-fiction films, along the same lines of Taken, Lucy, The Professional and The Fifth Element.

Right now EuropaCorp is also developing a sequel to Scarlett Johansson's sci-fi action film Lucy whose script has already been written by Besson.
