With Luc Besson's next film Joan of Arc nearing its end of principal photography, and now that it's a year-and-a-half after the release of The Fifth Element, fans wonder if the sequel will ever be mentioned again.

Still, it remains within the realm of possibility that the sequel could be greenlit one day. As for right now, the best man to ask if there'll be a follow-up film would be Luc Besson himself -- and he hasn't made a public comment since the press junket days for the first film.

An unconfirmed report appearing on Dark Horizons states that Bruce Willis has signed on to the sequel. It's also reported there that Mira Sorvino is not involved with the project, as might have been rumored in the past. - Dark Horizons.
