Based on a series of 1960s French graphic novels, the film is a science fiction adventure set in the 28th century that focuses on the titular Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and his "sharp-witted and sharp-tongued partner" Laureline (Cara Delevingne) as they travel the universe through space and time to protect our planet. Clive Owen is also set to star as their commander, Arün Filitt.
The release date has been set for July 21, 2017.
For a more detailed look at the plot, here is the official 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. 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."
