The first images and teaser poster for Luc Besson's new sci-fi adventure "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" have been released online by the director himself and via the new Entertainment Weekly issue. In case you're wondering about that big shiny robot featured in one of the images, Besson says the character is a police officer named K-Tron, but it's not a very important character in the film. You can check out the full EW interview here.
The film is based on the comic book created by Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières and it stars Dane DeHaan as the titular hero who is sent to investigate a galactic empire, along with his partner Laureline (Cara Delevingne). Besson also produced a seven-part animated adaptation of the same graphic novel in 2007. The film also stars Clive Owen, John Goodman, Ethan Hawke, Rutger Hauer, Rihanna and Herbie Hancock
"Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" opens in theaters on July 21, 2017.
Check out the images, synopsis and poster after the jump.
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."
