Luc Besson's 'Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets' Official Teaser Trailer Dazzles

I've got to be honest. I don't know much about Luc Besson (I have only a vague recollection of The Fifth Element way back when I was small), but the moment I saw with trepidation the new trailer for his upcoming movie called Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets I am already sold. Just watch the trailer so you know what I mean.

This Luc Besson-directed and -written movie stars Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen, Rihanna, Ethan Hawke, John Goodman, Herbie Hancock, and Kris Wu. The movie was adapted from the work by Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières called Valérian and Laureline.

Check out the trailer of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.

Synopsis

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.

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.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets will be released in theaters on July 21, 2017.
