Check Out The First Official Trailer For Luc Besson's VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS
Following a bunch of very brief teasers, the first full trailer for Luc Besson's new sci-fi epic, Valerian, is here. See Dane DeHaan (Valerian) and Cara Delevingne (Laureline) in action after the jump...
When footage from Luc Besson's Valerian and The City of A Thousand Planets screened at SDCC earlier this year, it was met with a standing ovation - so fans have been looking forward to the first official trailer, which has just debuted online.
The teaser is not short on visual spectacle, so it's easy to see why it was so well received. It's true we don't really get much of an idea of what to expect from stars Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne here, but there's plenty of time for that.
Tell us, what do you think? Does this footage have you excited for Valerian?
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.
Valerian also stars John Goodman, Ethan Hawke, Clive Owen, Rutger Hauer and Rihanna, and is set to hit theaters on July 21, 2017.
