Luc Besson's
ambitious big screen adaptation of Pierre
Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières' long-running graphic novel series Valérian
and Laureline is about to shift a gear in its marketing campaign.
Titled
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, the movie stars Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne
as spatio-temporal agents tasked with protecting the intergalactic
city of Alpha from dangerous threats.
Today,
STX Entertainment has released a new image taken from the film accompanied by a
description of the character in it.
"The Azin Mö are
the doctors of Alpha, the city of a thousand planets, intergalactically known
for their extraordinary materialization abilities and immortal nature. They can
produce any organic cell and so have the gift of spontaneous regeneration. They
also have the ability to "teleport", but they require several days to
recover from each trip, during which time they are physically and mentally
feeble, which makes them paradoxically vulnerable. Over the centuries, they
have been a favorite target of mercenaries and space pirates seeking to usurp
the species’ powers."
Opening in theaters on July 21, 2017, Valerian
and the City of a Thousand Planets also stars Clive Owen, Ethan Hawke, Rihanna,
John Goodman, Ruger Hauer, Kris Wu, Pauline Hoarau, and Herbie Hancock.
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.
