September 3, 1997... Ever since the first film appeared, there have been rampant rumors of a sequel. Apparently, Luc Besson's first draft of The Fifth Element was 400 pages long. Word has it that the first film was only the first half of the script, and that the second half would be the sequel, tentatively titled Mr. Shadow. It's still waiting to enter production.

October 8, 1998... Dark Horizons reports that several sources have said that 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. [Originally appeared in Dark Horizons; reported by Widgett.]

November 29, 1998... With Luc Besson's next film Joan of Arc nearing its end of principal photography, and a year-and-a-half after the release of The Fifth Element, fans wonder if the sequel will ever be mentioned again. Yeah, even though the first picture made its money back it was at best a moderate hit at the box office so Columbia execs are in no rush to turn this into a franchise. 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...
