Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

[DJR662]

I really liked what I saw in the trailer, first thing that came to my mind was The Fifth Element.

Second thing that came to my mind though was how much I dislike Dane DeHaan... I hated him in Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Still looking forward to see this and I can only guess it will look amazing on UHD.

For nearly 50 years, Pierre Christin and artist Jean-Claude Mézières’ comic Valérian and Laureline has been a huge influence on the sci-fi landscape. Next summer, it may become bigger than ever with the release of director Luc Besson‘s Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. The newest trailer for the film dropped earlier this week, and we’re still stunned by the alien visuals from that clip – and those aren’t even the finished visual effects! Valerian could be something truly special, and today’s Nerdist News is all about why it may be the next great space epic!

Join Nerdist News host, and spatio-temporal agent, Jessica Chobot, as she breaks down the six key reasons why Valerian is worth getting excited about. For starters, you may have noticed that the trailer looks like an even more insane version of The Fifth Element. That’s not a coincidence, as Valerian co-creator Mézières’ previously collaborated with Besson on that film. Now, Besson is bringing that style to life on a much larger scale, and the effects looks glorious even in their unfinished state.

Star Wars fans may have a bit of déjà vu while watching the trailer, but make no mistake, Valérian and Laureline came first, and Lucas’ movies heavily borrowed visuals from those comics. However, Besson took some extraordinary steps to fill out the backstory of the aliens in this film and the history of the city itself long before he began filming…just to flesh out the world! Besson even made sure that stars Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne were intimately familiar with that background info before they stepped into the roles of Valerian and Laureline, respectively.

There is talk that Valerian could become a movie franchise, but you won’t have to worry about unresolved plotlines or cliffhangers here. Besson has indicated that this film will stand alone as its own story. And if that doesn’t get you pumped up, how about the fact that any potential sequel can literally go anywhere in time and space? If audiences like what they see from this film, there are a lot of stories left to tell.

Odds on this suffering the same box office response as John Carter are high unfortunately

[Scarriere]

The trailer looks like this'll be a trippy movie.
I'll probably love every minute of it.

Agreed. This has John Carter/Jupiter Ascending written all over it. Shame because I like both of those films and look forward to this one.

If it's as good as John Carter, my money will be well spent.

STX has taken over domestic distribution (and I imagine Asian distribution as well), as part of a three year deal between them and EuropaCorp.

This means the film should make its date with no problem (a number of EuropaCorp titles had been pushed due to the financial issues at Relativity).

New “Valerian” Trailer At Month’s End

In a posting on Instagram two days ago, Besson says the new trailer will be out in 25 days. That puts it out at the every end of the month.

This almost certainly suggests that the trailer will be attached to copies of the Scarlett Johansson-led live-action “Ghost in the Shell” feature.
