  Luc Besson finished shooting his film with words “Viva independent Armenia!”  May 6, 2011 - 13:35 AMTPanARMENIAN.Net - Jacky Nercessian, starring as Professor Esperandieu, visited Armenia as part of Luc Besson’s The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec film screening in Armenia. “This is the first film, in which I star as a French, but not Armenian, Turk or Jew. After completion of the film, Besson forced me to close my eyes, broached a bottle of champagne and cried: “Viva Independent Armenia,” Nercessian told journalists in Yerevan. He noted that he divides his career into two stages – before and after Luc Besson. “He is independent and well aware of professional details of cinema,” said Nercessian. The Armenian audience has the opportunity to watch The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec film prior to its screening in other countries. “Armenia will host the film’s premiere screening. Besson provided the right to screen the film in the country for free of charge,” said French Ambassador to Armenia Henri Reynaud.
