Luc Besson's Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (Post-release)

Re: Luc Besson's Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

hmmmm I am cautiously optimistic. I can´t really see those two really young actors playing the characters when I look at the comics.

I've never heard of it before. Looks pretty interesting.

Looks interesting. Does that K-Tron look like that in the comics. Unfortunately, every time I see that style I think of that dude in Thor :)

I still think the actors are too young.

AND ...

am I the only one who gets distracted by her ... dark eyebrows?

I was lucky enough to meet Mezieres today in Haarlem and have a little chat with him while he was signing my comic and drawing me a nice picture of Laureline.

From our talk I got the impression he was very proud of the film and visited the set 'all the time'.

An absolute gentleman and a very charming and nice person to talk to.

It's all looking good so far...Eager to see the finished product.

Re: Luc Besson's Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

SDCC Panel


devincf: Luc Besson takes the Hall H stage for the first time ever. Says he fell in love with VALERIAN at age 10.

devincf: AVATAR forced Besson to scrap his original script for VALERIAN.

empiremagazine: Besson retooled his sci-fi epic, and James Cameron ended up dropping by the set. #SDCC2016

devincf: Besson gets the Inkpot Award from SDCC, probably for ANGEL-A in particular.

devincf: Besson leaves the Inkpot on the podium and says he'll only take it home if the audience thinks he deserves it after we see VALERIAN footage.

devincf: VALERIAN concept art for planet of Alpha is nuts, hard scifi stuff. Intricate, lovely. Some BLADE RUNNER influence.

devincf: Now alien concept art. A dozen species at least. They're really cool! I hope they release this stuff - it's hard to describe.

briantruitt: Virginie Besson-Silla showing off some Valerian artwork. Movie takes place in 2700. Liquid and gas lands in Alpha concept stuff. #sdcc

empiremagazine: Valerian is set in the year 2700 and largely takes place on the mega-planet Alpha. It teems with weird and wonderful aliens. #SDCC2016

devincf: Weird panel: I have no idea what the movie is about but this extensive alien/spaceship concept art makes me want to buy an art book.

devincf: Besson is showing pictures from his recent vacation including his butt and his crashed boat.

empiremagazine: Luc Besson is now showing a slideshow of photos from his recent holiday, including close-ups of his foot and bottom. Help! #SDCC2016





devincf: VALERIAN footage: Dane DeHaan is doing a Keanu voice. FX is iffy (and unfinished) but visual imagination is AWESOME.

GermainLussier: Just saw 4 scenes from Luc Besson's 2017 scifi film Valerian. It looks insanely epic and fun. Fifth Element to the fifth power. #comiccon

devincf: In one sequence Valerian jumps off a platform and has a gun that creates little energy platforms for him to run across the void.

devincf: Cara Delevingne is awesome. She is funny and cool and hot. Rihanna shows up dressed as Sally Bowles.

devincf: The tone of VALERIAN seems to be classic adventure with exceptional design. Went from 0 interest to must-see after watching that footage.

empiremagazine: Just got treated to a chunk of Valerian footage. Featured robots, Hawaiian shirts, monkey/elephant aliens and Rihanna. Very Fifth Element-y.

JhovaniEstrada: Luc Besson receives a standing ovation after #Valerian first look is shown. *Mind Blown*



briantruitt: More than 200 alien species in Valerian. #sdcc

devincf: Besson just revealed FIFTH ELEMENT's Leeloo's full name but I couldn't possibly write it down. It's very long.

devincf: VALERIAN is set over a 24 hour period.
