Kamen and Besson were finally able to create a script they were satisfied with, and thus began the journey, which lasted for four more years, to create a movie that many consider a highlight of '90s sci-fi along with The Matrix. Soon, Kamen was on a plane to Paris, where a three-day brainstorming session with Besson turned into a three-week tour of the studio in which the work was being done to bring to life the alien world of The Fifth Element. But to his surprise, Besson called him a week later and asked for his help in writing the script.

Kamen naturally concluded that was the last he would ever hear about The Fifth Element. And at the end of the meeting, Billy called me up, he said, 'Dude, you just ruined that relationship.' Because all I had done was I just kept saying what a huge piece of shit this script was.' He's a French auteur, I'm just this fucking Hollywood screenwriter. And he sits there, and I could see that he was getting more and more pissed off. He doesn't get all of it because his English wasn't that great. 'I said, 'I'll come in and meet him.' said, 'Great.' So I come in and meet the guy, and I tell him everything that's wrong with his script. Unfortunately, the meeting was far from a success.

The story behind the making The Fifth Element is as much a clash of cultures as the movie itself, which boasted a strange, captivating European arthouse aesthetic filtered through the prism of raw commercial Hollywood. So we never did the sequel, and the sequel would have been taking the other 180-page thing had and working it into a script.' It was huge in the rest of the world, and it's a classic, but it only did $75 million here or $80 million. We were going to do it as a sequel, but it made no sense, and The Fifth Element wasn't big enough here. ' was actually 180 pages, and then added a second part to it, which made no sense either. In a conversation with the movie's co-writer, Robert Kamen, it was revealed that the original plan had been to make a sequel to The Fifth Element, that fell through because the first film underperformed at the box-office.

The movie starred an eclectic cast that included Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Chris Tucker, and Gary Oldman.
