Even for an famous director as Luc Besson it is difficult to start out on social media, even when sharing big news. In the first 15 hours of his Twitter account’s life he only gathered 7,670 followers. Cara Delevingne retweeted Luc Besson’s announcement to her 2.6 million followers, but that seemed to have had no impact.

Where are the Luc Besson fans? Luc Besson will bring back The Transporter franchise this year. The Transporter Refueled stars Ed Skrein.
