The pic is an adaptation of author Tonino Benacquista's novel Badfellas and the story follows a mob family that relocates to Normandy under a witness protection program. However, the family finds that old habits die hard.
Jones will play Robert De Niro's stern handler in the FBI -sponsored program who tries to help them assimilate to their new life overseas.
Michelle Pfeiffer also stars as De Niro's wife
Besson who will also produce the film--writes the adapted script with Michael Caleo

For his part Besson is certainly one busy guy picking up yet another film....
