VALERIAN First Look: Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne in Luc Besson's Sci-Fi Epic
The Fifth Element director Luc Besson is returning to big-budget science fiction with a film adaptation of the 1967 French comic Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, and now we have our first look at stars Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne in costume.
I know this is just one image and there's no way to judge how good the film will be based on only this, but at least the costumes look cool. Remember the early photos from Terminator Genisys? Yikes. Thankfully, these looks like they have a nice combination of practicality and functionality, with a badass robotic sheen to the whole thing. Stay tuned for more photos tomorrow, but I'd love to hear what you think about this one in the comments. Clive Owen, Rihanna, John Goodman, Rutger Hauer, and Ethan Hawke co-star in the film, and you can read the synopsis right here:
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.
The film arrives in theaters on July 21, 2017.
