According to Patrice Ledoux, Luc Besson planned Léon as filler. At the time, he had already started working on Il quinto elemento (1997), but production was delayed due to Bruce Willis's schedule. Rather than dismiss the production team and lose his creative momentum, Besson wrote Léon. It took him only 30 days to write the script, and the shoot lasted only 90 days. As it turned out, Léon is now generally considered to be a far superior film to Il quinto elemento (1997).
