Kevin Carr interviews Luc Besson, director of “Arthur and the Invisibles,” the new film which mixes live action with cutting-edge computer animation.

7M: WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO ADAPT A BOOK THAT YOU WROTE?
Only a few people know that I started with the script and wrote the book a year later. That was a funny process to me. I started with the script which I do usually. About a year later, lots of people are asking me, “What are you doing?” And I figure it’s maybe a good idea to write the book so people could be more familiar with the world.

When the film arrives, people can confront their own imagination with mine.
