Luc Besson’s THE FIFTH ELEMENT became an almost instant Sci-Fi cult classic. Since its release, fans have wondered when (if ever) Besson would make another film like it. VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS may be the answer they’re looking for. Today we get to see a new video featurette for the film, which is rather breathtaking, and it still very much looks like a mix of FIFTH ELEMENT, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, and maybe a dash of STAR WARS. Of course the classic comic book source material was the inspiration for many of the Science Fiction movies we all love today. VALERIAN stars Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen, Rihanna, Ethan Hawke, John Goodman, Herbie Hancock and Kris Wu. Check out the newest spectacular look at this cinematic eye candy and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
Rooted in the classic graphic novel series, Valerian and Laureline- visionary writer/director Luc Besson advances this iconic source material into a contemporary, unique and epic science fiction saga. 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.
