Based on one of Europe’s most beloved book series of the past 50 years, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is the latest science fiction film from director Luc Besson.
Come to Valerian
Since its creation by legendary French comic book creator Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières in 1967, Valérian (which has gone by many names such as Valérian, Spatio-Temporal Agent, Valérian and Laureline) is the go-to pillow book.
The Hollywood Reporter newspaper once called Valérian the most important science fiction series in cinema history, as its creative materials had a great influence on later blockbusters such as Star Wars and The Fifth.
Meet the duo Valerian and Laureline
Set in the 28th century, the central character of this journey that is both classic and familiar, yet strange and full of interesting surprises is Major Valerian (played by Dane DeHaan) – a talented and talented secret agent.
Accompanying Valerian on this journey through the universe is Sergeant Laureline (played by Cara Delevingne) – a strong, decisive and independent-thinking woman who was once a poor farmer from France.
Together, agents Valerian and Laureline participate in top-secret missions across space and time to protect the universe’s timeline.
Visit Alpha – “the city of a thousand planets”
Alpha is more accurately a space station of a thousand planets.
In the movie, Valerian and Laureline will travel through many locations in Alpha to decode a conspiracy that is covering the entire city, and meet many strange and interesting creatures.
From a project that has been cherished for 20 years, a universe of new adventures is about to begin
Leaps in visual effects processing technology allowed Luc Besson, a `crazy fan` of the series, to start thinking about bringing Valerian and Laureline to big screen audiences.
After exactly 50 years since its publication, Valerian and Laureline will finally be reunited with fans on the big screen.
