Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets Character Posters Debut

May 3, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is one of the big unknowns of the summer. Director Luc Besson must believe in it, as it’s know the most expensive French movie ever made, with an estimated budget of over $200 million.

The trailers have looked impressive, but it’s going to need to make an awful lot of money to make a profit, and considering it’s based on a property that’s not desperately well-known outside France, it’s tough to know how audiences will respond. Now a new set of character posters have arrived, which you can take a look at below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the 28th century, Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are a team of special operatives charged with maintaining order throughout the human territories. Under assignment from the Minister of Defense, the two embark on a mission to the astonishing city of Alpha—an ever-expanding metropolis where species from all over the universe have converged over centuries to share knowledge, intelligence and cultures with each other.  There is a mystery at the center of Alpha, a dark force which threatens the peaceful existence of the City of a Thousand Planets, and Valerian and Laureline must race to identify the marauding menace and safeguard not just Alpha, but the future of the universe.’ [Read more…]

New Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets Trailer – Dane DeHaan & Cara Delevingne star in Luc Besson’s sci-fi

March 29, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Luc Besson took us into a rather unique sci-fi world with The Fifth Element, which got a very mixed reaction on its cinema release, but has since grown more than a cult reputation. Now the director is going back to hard sci-fi with Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, which has just released a new trailer. It’s certainly got an impressive visual style.

Here’s the 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.’

The film is due out this summer. [Read more…]

First Looks At Kong: Skull Island and Valerian & The City Of A Thousand Planets

April 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

valerian-slideThe MTV Movie Awards offered the chance to get our first peak at a couple of highly anticipated new movie, most notably Kong: Skull Island and Luce Besson’s Valerian & The City Of A Thousand Planets.

Oscar-winner Brie Larson takes us to the set of Kong: Skull Island, which focuses on the action and excitement of the film. Tom Hiddleston and Corey Hawkins are also on hand talk up the movie, letting us know that it’s set during the Vietnam era and see a group of adventurers and military getting far more than they bargained for when they arrive on the uncharted Skull Island. It confirms that King Kong will be a bit part of the story, but also that it completely reboots things, as the giant gorilla was never taken to New York and isn’t the last of his kind.

Valerian & The City Of A Thousand Planets meanwhile is based on a classic novel, which as is pointed out in the footage below, helped inspire the likes of Star Wars and Avatar. Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne star in Luc Besson’s film version, which offers up a behind-the-scenes look in the footage below. In the original graphic novel, Valérian and Laureline are 28th Century agents working for the Galaxity organization, whose adventures take them across time and space. However after Galaxity and their home planet disappear, they are left to forge a future on their own. [Read more…]

Dane DeHaan & Cara Delevingne Join Luc Besson’s Sci-fi ‘Epic’ Valerian

May 12, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Dane-DeHaanThe huge success of Lucy reminded everyone that Luc Besson can have huge success as a director after several years where he mainly seemed to be a purveyor of no brain action that he wrote and/or produced, such as The Transporter and Taken.

Now he’s heading back into the director’s chair for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, based on the Belgian science fiction comic book characters Valérian and Laureline, created by Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mezieres.

He’s already signed up his first cast members, with with Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne set to star in the central roles.

Valérian and Laureline are 28th Century agents working for the Galaxity organization, whose adventures take them across time and space. However after Galaxity and their home planet disappear, they are left to forge a future on their own.

With the ‘City of a Thousand Planets’ subtitle, it certainly sounds like this Besson is hoping to build this into a franchise. Production is set to begin at the end of this year with a global release slated for summer 2017.

Dane DeHaan & Mia Goth Have A Cure For Wellness

April 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Dane-DeHaanGore Verbinski looked like he was set to take over Hollywood thanks to the Pirates Of The Caribbean movies, but thanks to the failure of The Long Ranger and a reputation for going massively over-budget, he’s decided to set his sights slightly cheaper for his next movie.

He’s planning a horror film called A Cure For Wellness, which THR reports has now added Dane DeHaan and Mia Goth to its cast.

Justin Haythe wrote the script, which ‘tells the story of an employee (DeHaan) who is sent to rescue his boss from a European “wellness spa” but soon realizes he’s trapped, and discovers that the facility has a more sinister purpose than just serving the health needs of its patients. Goth, who is in negotiations for the role, will play a longtime patient who is oblivious to the spa director’s dark designs for her.’

The plan is to start shooting this June in Europe. It’s a return to horror for Verbinski who may have had some success with Mousehunt and The Mexican, but really broke through with the American version of The Ring.
