VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS Gets New Photos; Trailer Coming Tomorrow
It's been a long time since I've really looked forward to a Luc Besson movie (I wasn't crazy about his Scarlett Johansson mind-bender Lucy), but Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets has changed that. I'm legitimately excited to see what he does with this sci-fi property, partly because it's been a passion project of his for years, and partly because it's Besson getting back to his genre roots and making something that looks bigger and crazier than anything he's made before. Check out a few new photos below.
Meanwhile, EW has a piece about Rihanna's appearance in the film, saying that she inhabits several personas in her twenty minutes of screen time. You can read the whole thing here, and check out a new gif and a pic of the star below:
A teaser package for the movie had a very impressive reaction at Comic-Con, and a new trailer is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, so we'll be back when that happens to take a deeper look at what Besson has in store for us.
Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are special operatives for the government of the human territories charged with maintaining order throughout the universe. Valerian has more in mind than a professional relationship with his partner- blatantly chasing after her with propositions of romance. But his extensive history with women, and her traditional values, drive Laureline to continuously rebuff him.
Under directive from their Commander (Clive Owen), Valerian and Laureline embark on a mission to the breathtaking intergalactic city of Alpha, an ever-expanding metropolis comprised of thousands of different species from all four corners of the universe. Alpha’s seventeen million inhabitants have converged over time, uniting their talents, technology and resources for the betterment of all. Unfortunately, not everyone on Alpha shares in these same objectives; in fact, unseen forces are at work, placing our race in great danger.
