Luc Besson, director of films like "Leon", "The Big Blue" and "The Fifth Element", says his latest movie will be his last.

The French moviemaker told The Globe & Mail yesterday that he intends to devote himself instead to civic projects, including starting a foundation to help youths in France's inner cities.

Besson's 10th and last movie, "Arthur et les Minimoys", opens in France in December. Besson, 47, said he was keen to try his hand at an array of new projects.
