PARIS (AP) - Luc Besson will direct a video promoting the Paris bid for the 2012 Olympics. The French filmmaker's short clip will be shown during Paris' official presentation to the International Olympic Committee, Paris bid member Arnaud Lagardere told RTL radio Friday.
The 46-year-old Besson directed "The Fifth Element," "The Professional" and "La Femme Nikita." He is working on a computer-animated version of his children's book, "Arthur and the Minimoys."
Paris is competing against London, Moscow, New York and Madrid, Spain, for the Olympics. After each city makes its official presentation on July 6 in Singapore, IOC members will vote on a winner.
