Time-traveling agent Valerian and his partner Laureline are
sent to investigate a galactic empire. The two spatio-temporal agents travel
the universe through space and time on a mission to protect the human species. However,
along with the numerous tasks they perform, there is one rule that must be
obeyed, that is to never alter the course of events.
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, drives 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.

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.

French director Luc Besson was 10 years old when he fell under the spell of Valérian and Laureline. The comic book, which began publication in 1967 and is considered an ancestor of Star Wars and Avatar, tells the adventures of two space agents who solve crimes in intergalactic worlds. The tales so flooded Besson’s brain that they groomed him for young love and the technological challenges of movie-making that would lie ahead.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see the spirit of cheerful sci-fi insanity Jupiter Ascending blessed us with being continued.
ReplyDeleteI hope this is good although I never really like to read comic but when I first saw the animated trailer, it seems nice.
