Valerian Trailer is a Sci Fi Visual Feast

Science Fiction

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, the latest film from acclaimed French director Luc Besson, is already one of 2017’s must-see releases. The sci-fi action epic brings the classic French graphic novels Valerian and Laureline to the big screen, has an exciting, high-profile cast and, if the first trailer is anything to go by, will feature stunning special effects and an awesome soundtrack.

Rooted in the classic graphic novel series, visionary writer/director Luc Besson advances this iconic source material into a contemporary, unique and epic science fiction saga in the upcoming movie, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.

In the film, 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.

Germain Lussier at io9 has said that, "Valerian Looks Like The Fifth Element to the Fifth Power," and we couldn't agree more after seeing the trailer below.
