VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS Blu-ray Details & Cover Art Revealed
Lionsgate Home Entertainment has officially detailed their upcoming 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, & Digital HD release of Luc Besson's sci-fi epic Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Come take a look!
Despite an intriguing premise and a heavy marketing push, Luc Besson's latest directorial venture, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets didn't exactly resonate with American critics and audiences this past summer, resulting in a disappointing $40.3 million domestic haul. Overseas, it managed to perform slightly better, grossing a fairly decent $179.2 million from international territories and bringing its worldwide total to just over $219.5 million. However, with a massive $177.2 million production budget, this final tally makes the highly-ambitious film one of this summer's biggest bombs.
Earlier this week, Lionsgate Home Entertainment officially announced that the Dane DeHaan-led film will arrive on Digital HD on November 7 before making its way to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD on November 21.
The press release adds that hardcore fans will get to enjoy an all-new Valerian experience if they pick up the film on home video. "The 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray versions feature Dolby Atmos audio remixed specifically for the home-theater environment, to place and move audio anywhere in the room, including overhead. The 4K Blu-ray release also features Dolby Vision high dynamic range (HDR), growing Lionsgate's library of titles featuring both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos."

VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS is the visually spectacular new adventure film from Luc Besson, the legendary director of The Professional, The Fifth Element and Lucy, based on the ground-breaking comic book series which inspired a generation of artists, writers and filmmakers.
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.
