Girl In Leeloo The Fifth Element Costume

Largely set in a futuristic New York City, the film was a French production, with most of the principal photography filmed at Pinewood Studios in England. Some scenes were also shot on location in Mauritania. The concert scenes were filmed at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, except for the special effect shots that show the Planet Fhloston through the ship's portholes. The Fifth Element was shot in Super 35 mm film format. Many scenes contain visual effects, and nearly all of the visual effects scenes are hard-matted with aid of Computer-generated imagery. The production design for the film was developed by French comics creators Jean Giraud (Moebius) and Jean-Claude Mézières. The costume design was created by French fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier, who produced 954 costumes for use in the film.
The original name of the character Ruby Rhod was Loc Rhod. This name also appears in the novelization of the film.
The "Divine Language" spoken in the film is a fictional language with only 400 words, invented by director Luc Besson and Milla Jovovich. Jovovich stated that she and Besson wrote letters to each other in the Divine Language as practice.
The film was developed from a 400-page story outline Luc Besson reportedly began while still in high school. As the story was far too long for a feature film, Besson wrote this screenplay from only its first part. A sequel, titled Mr. Shadow, was planned but development attempts ended within the year.
